[SOLVED] Changing layer of choice menu

#1 Post by throwawayguy »

Tried looking around the forums for any previous threads but the search results keep on bugging out so hopefully I can get an answer to this!

I'm trying to layer my side image over a choice menu I've made, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Like I said before, I can't find anything on the forums about changing the "layer" of the choice menu and I don't think the documentation has anything on this, either.. unless I didn't look hard enough?

No need to change the layer, just change the zorder.
The choice menu is a screen found in screens.rpy

What Imperf3kt means is probably:

Side images are shown as part of the say screen (not on the 'master' layer like other sprites), so you'd just want to move the zorder of the say screen to be above the choice screen (as both those screens are on the 'screens' layer)

Dang, I even tried that as well before asking, I just put it in the wrong sections! Thanks for the help, it worked out wonderfully!
