Question about image layers.

[helcries]

I looked but couldn't find an answer anywhere, so I was hoping someone here knew.

When your writing up your scenes, does it matter what priority / order I do show screen commands, and scene images?

Code: Select all

label start:
    show screen home_stats
    show screen work_stats
    scene home_livingroom
    
    or
    
label start:
    scene home_livingroom
    show screen home_stats
    show screen work_stats

Or does it not matter?

Thanks in advance.

If you want all of them to show at once, and none are modal, the order won't matter.
If one screen shows something in the same position as another screen, it will be placed above or below the other screen, based on when it was called/shown. The later it is called, the higher up the zorder it is (if none has been set) and thus, it shows in front of other screens.

Just to add, if you're wondering if showing the screen before the scene command will make the screen go away after scene (judging by your example code) - the answer is no. The screens will show in all subsequent scenes until you explicitly hide them.
