Title: Free entities order
Post by: Dionysius on February 05, 2008, 06:37:44 AM

How to say to WME which free entity must be drawn first? I have 2 free entities in my scene: the bed and the luggage on it. 3D-actor will open the luggage. The entity "luggage" has animated sprite. Here is screenshot (http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotgd1.jpg) from SceneEdit.
And how to set correctly hotspot to make actor's hands is drawn in front of the bed when the actor is openning the luggage?

Hello Dionysius,

maybe I can help you with the hot spot. In my scene with the fountain I use the piece of fountain as free entity and the hotspot is a region entity. So I have the cursor only at the fountain. On my screenshot you can see it perhaps better.

I would make appropriate region entities. Hope it helps a little bit.

hotspot greets,

Simply put, free entities/actors are sorted by their Y position (as long as they stand in the same region).

Mnemonic, the bed has hotspot{268, 321} and the luggage {73, 321}. I tried to change luggage's hotspot to {73, 323}, but  all thesame the luggage is closed by the bed. What's wrong?
So, I guess, I need to use region entity to solve this issue.

I don't know what's wrong. Are they in the same region?

Yes, they are. The scene has no any region entities.
