[Solved] Special Effect that shows over NVL say screen

#1 Post by aqua.soo »

How do you show a displayable that is on top of everything in the game, especially the NVL say screen?

I've tried messing around with zorder, but no matter what I set it to, the say screen remains on top of everything.

If you look in the Configuration Variables part of the documentation, you can find config.layers, where you can set the names of layers that you want to use in your game. You probably want to leave the defaults alone, but you can add a layer name of your own to the end, and make a show command that displays to your custom layer.

EDIT: Also, if it's specifically the NVL say screen you want to change, you can go into the screen code for the nvl screen and add your displayable along with the other things the NVL screen shows.

Ah, I see. Just appending a new layer to that config.layers and using that worked. Thanks!
