hey.

So i have an entity which i use to draw those comic baloons you saw in the ZBang demo.
I tyr set an entity to stick to front in to a region that's suppose to be in front of the actor and the entity is still behind it.
I have a region that's all the way down below the scene (y=2000) and i set baloon.StickToRegion(frontEntity); and i set Actor.StickToRegion(background);

The debugger shows the region prorepty of the baloon entity as null even though I set tmp.StickToRegion(region); the line before. can't figure out why.
Any ideas?

It's not supposed to show the stick-to region. This property contains the region reference for region entities.
Wouldn't it be better to use GUI for the bubbles?

i used to use a window object for the baloons, but i changed it to a free entity because i wanted to have scaling.
I might consider going back to a window if that's the only solution.

any ideas how do i know which region it sticks to ?
