gl.text2d with automatic 0 ignores layer?
Hey folks,
I’m using text2d to place some text in various spots per frame.. the issue is that the text is always drawing first and all other objects/sketches/slabs are covering it up. It’s almost as though automatic 0 makes the layer 0 as well. Any thoughts on this?
Peace,
Drew
best way we can help is to see a stripped down patch illustrating the problem.
Nevermind… I resolved it… human error. 
I’ll be sure to always post patches from now on.
EDIT: Actually not; I tested it with gl.sketch and it works fine, but gl.gridshape (the original perp) doesn’t work…
Actually, I was mistaken. The bug continues and I am unable to resolve it. I’m about to pull my hair out on this one.
Here’s a simple patch that demonstrates the strange bug. I assume that setting the text to layer 99 and the gridshape to layer 0 will make the text draw in front of the gridshape, however, it draws behind it.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Peace,
Drew
AFAIK the layer attribute is only relevant when automatic is 1 . When automatic is 0 you have to explicitly draw each object in order. I think automatic 0 is only useful when you set all of your gl objects to automatic 0.
i think this is what you want:
Bingo!
Thanks a billion!
