Hi
Is there any way to make the layer object only apply to a specific group of objects?
I am fixing a little game and would like certain objects (trees, houses, etc) to be sorted by their Y Coordinate, but have others (eg the Cursor) always at the front.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
James

There are lots of ways to do this. I'd have to take a look at your mfa to see how your code works but you can just put all the objects you want in front on a separate layer. Of if you want them on the same layer for whatever reason, just add the event "ALWAYS: Move Cursor to Front".

What I'm currently doing is sort > by Y increasing (or decreasing, I forget which right now). I've got an Always move cursor to front event, which was effective before I tried the layer object...

Yeah, you could do what Chris suggests and have it so that whenever the cursor is overlapping a member of that group of objects (ex. Neutral, Enemies, etc) than move the cursor in front of said object.

How about..
You have the cursor in its own layer, and have an invisible Active object following its XY on the layer you want,
then the cursor Layer is always where you want it,,

Have your cursor on a separate layer and whenever you need it to perform a function on an object on another layer just use:
always
-> set cursor to layer 'x'
cursor is over 'y' (or whatever)
-> perform function
always
-> set cursor to layer 'top'
