| Hi Blitzers, do you know if there's a way to put a 3D object on top of an Hud in Sprite Candy ? So far the 3D model remains 'covered' by all the huds and layers. Do I have to use a second camera ? If so, how ? Thanks in advance, Sergio. P.S. Here is what I mean: the stars background is a layer, and I would like to set it behind the earth --> Image here |

| try the entityorder command, set the hud higher so it is drawn after everything else. |

| Yeah, EntityOrder will work. Just a note about EntityOrder - the manual gives the impression that you can only use -1, 0, or 1. This isn't the case. You can give it pretty much any number and all objects will be drawn accordingly. |

| Thanks, problem is that the HUDs are not like normal entities - the command Entityorder does not seem to work with them, I get 'entity does not exist', even if each hud have been declared global and correctly initialized with hud_create(...). Changing the entityorder of the 3d object (with negative, 0 or positive values) did not help too. *edit* The command HUD_Create returns an handle to an SC_HUD type, which contains various fields, and a pivot. Sadly, the EntityOrder does not work for pivots, but only with meshes or cameras ! *edit2* I've modified the HUD_Create and the SC_HUD type, in order to return an extra field, wich is the mesh used to create the HUD; but also in this way, playing with EntityOrder did not work :/ Sergio. |
