Onlayer Command Screen Language vs Show Statement (solved)

[noeinan]

Hello! I am working on integrating layered backgrounds into a moveable map. I have the single layer map working, but I was hoping to add a top layer. However, I'm not sure how to add layers when on a screen vs a show statement.

Documentation I've found so far...

I started from this tutorial, but it only involves show statements, not adding images to screens.

Documentation on layers, but again using show statements rather than screens.

I found this forum thread, adding a different screen layer on top of the old screen layer, not allowing multiple layers on a single screen... Maybe this can only be done by making a new screen for each layer?



I added this line to the options file:

Code: Select all

    config.layers = [ 'zero', 'master', 'transient', 'screens', 'belowmid', 'midlayer', 'abovemid', 'overlay']

I've defined my map here, adding base_img and top_img instead of just img:

Code: Select all

    class TestMap:
        def __init__(self, map_grid, base_img, top_img, start_x, start_y):
            self.map = map_grid
            self.base_img = base_img
            self.top_img = top_img
            self.center_x = start_x
            self.center_y = start_y

And I've got my map screen set up to add two images instead of one:

Code: Select all

screen map_screen(cMap):

    on "show":
        action Hide("say")

    add "#000"

    $offset_x = 990 - (90 * cMap.center_x) + 45
    $offset_y = 540 - (90 * cMap.center_y) + 45

    add cMap.base_img:
        pos(offset_x, offset_y)
        onlayer belowmid

    add cMap.top_img:
        pos(offset_x, offset_y)
        onlayer abovemid

The problem is, onlayer doesn't seem to work inside of a screen. The syntax seems to work in script with a "show" command, but screen language doesn't respond properly. Is there a different syntax I can use here? Any help is greatly appreciated! I want to be able to walk behind trees and roofs

Got some advice from someone on Discord, it seems you can't have one screen with multiple images on different layers. Instead, I just made multiple screens and got it to work.
