Show animation OVER pictures

[KayakoChan 318]

So I have ran into a little problem with the project I am using on, mainly the intro I am making.

 

I am mainly using pictures, but I am also trying to incorporate animations into my scene. However as seen here:

 

the animations are played BELOW the pictures, which will end up giving trouble if I add a background

(Even now I am finding it less appealing than it would be if they played correctly)

Is there any workaround or even script to fix this?

It sounds like you'll have to change the z-values of the pictures to be lower than that of the animations. I haven't tried doing this myself, but this might help.

Well... Pictures and map sprites handled in different viewport. Changing Z value of the picture won't work. 

I will try to work around it, wish me luck

That would be real nice indeed! from what I've seen in the thread from the link there wasn't a definite fix there either.

 

Anyway, good luck TheoAllen!♥

Not documented. I'm too lazy to write the instruction at the moment.

Regular animation display

 

Using my script

 

All you need is to put script call

anim_pic(picture_number, animation_id)

However, it doesn't have wait for completion. So you need to put your own wait event command

 

Edit :
Moved to script request

That's amazing! And yes, sorry for that, I was initially wondering if there was just some basic engine setting I was missing. I didn't mean for it to end up in the wrong place!

I'll test it now~

 

Edit: Your script works absolutely perfectly as expected, I don't even mind that it made old saves unusable, (Which almost every script seems to do)

I'll just make a few saves for people to use when I release my next demo.

I'm glad that if it's that you wanted. And sorry about unusable save files.

Now, I can repost this on my blog once I finished the instructions

 

Closed since solved
