Hi, I was wondering, how can I get better control over the order of multiple (mesh) image layers that are all set as EntityOrder -1? I have the background image set as EntityOrder 1, so it's always behind the character no matter what, the character set as EntityOrder 0, but then three that need to be -1: a foreground image, another for lights, and another for menu items on top of that. It's pretty crucial I always have the top three layers be between the character and the camera, but with no way to control their order, the whole thing's pretty pointless. I've temporarily solved it by putting them all up close to the camera at slightly different distances (in the .0001 range), but I'm not looking forward to the small scaling adjustments that will still be needed to match the originals. Actually I am, but still. It'd be better to do it with EntityOrder. Hope someone can help!
