I am new B3D and have started writing a RPG and would like to add a top bar and bottom tool bar, but the when i create the camera the tool bars disappear. The tool bars are bitmap images *.bmp. How do I keep them ontop where I can see them? Thanks in advance. Zed.

Check out the command, Entityorder, then you can choose which order things are rendered, making sure you always draw your tool bar last so it appears on top.

Thanks Enay, I tried to set the EntityOrder to -1 but the toolbar still disappears. If I don't create the camera the toolbars are visable??? Zed

If you're using DrawBlock/DrawImage to draw the toolbars then make sure you put these commands after RenderWorld but before flip.

Remember though Zed, that mixing 2D and 3D graphics can create very poor results on some computers.
