Sprite Layers
When working with sprites in the same layer, I noticed that the sprites/GameObjects that are created first are automatically on a higher layer than those created after them.
Is there any way to change this behavior to make the last GameObject created the highest in its layer?
Don't think of it so much as when the object is created but when it's layer is assigned. I believe setting the layer in the start function for the specific sprites you want should solve the problem.
This sounds like it'll work better! I wanted to avoid the Z-axis if I could. Thanks!
I'm doing it this way in my game to make weapon particles appear in front of my weapons ins$$anonymous$$d of behind.
void Start ()
{
particleSystem.renderer.sortingLayerName = "Player";
particleSystem.renderer.sortingOrder = 5;
}
You can also use the sprite renderer component of an object too.
Wait, wait, wait. Are sprites first ordered by LayerName, THEN by sortingOrder?
They ARE! $$anonymous$$uahahaha! This fixes everything, Thanks!
Perhaps it isn't what you are looking for, but when the sprites are created you can set the sortingOrder and sortingLayer programatically with sprite.sortingOrder and sprite.sortingLayerName.
