Weird sortingOrder behavior
hi guys, This is driving me crazy. Hopefully someone can help! I'm trying to order my sprites, but weird things are happening.
I essentially have this script attached to a gameObject:
private Renderer r;
public void Start() {
r = gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>();
if (!r) {
print("???");
}
r.sortingOrder = 4000;
}
private void Update() {
r.sortingOrder = 50000;
}
When I run this, and check the game object in editor, the Order in Layer = -15536 (why?!)
If I comment out the 'r.sortingOrder = 50000;' line from the Update method, and run the game, it works as expected...Order in Layer= 4000
what's going on here? I have other objects with sprites that can change sortingOrder in Update() correctly.... what things could be effecting this?
thanks!
p.s. using SpriteRenderer type has same results.
Hi buddy, Check the manual for renderer.sortingOrder: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Renderer-sortingOrder.html
Looks like its a signed integer: this means that its value must be between -32768 and 32767.
50000 is too high!
Thanks! Haven't confirmed yet, but that must be it... so simple
