Im making a small sim city type game, so far I have the basic city building in isometric done, and the scrolling etc. Now I need to be able to place buildings down either in front of or behind other buildings automatically when placed,(play any city building game and you`ll know what i mean.) Anybody got any ideas how to start??
Yours hopefully
Martyn

its hard ive tried before, firstly its gonna be hard if all ur isometric buildings take up different floor-spaces, i made all my buildings to the same size and just made em look totally different. For front or behind you could use detectors? when it collides with detector a it goes to back when it collides with b it comes to front? ahhhh i dunno im probably very wrong lol. goodluck.

There is an excellent extension that will automatically order your active objects by their Y Axis. It's called the Layer Object and can be found here:

The action you want is something like "Order objects by their Y value"
Enjoy.

No extensions:
>Always
-start loop "front/back" for (height of playfield) # of loops
>on loop "front/back"
+>if Y position of building1 = loop index of "front/back"
-send building1 to the front
//repeat for all other buildings

If he is using TGF, fastloop is an extension. But one he should have got by now.

i can't edit my post for some reason or another, but i wanted to ask if you could replace building1 with a group, would that work? because that would save a lot of event lines

nope, groups won't work. They can't retrieve X,Y positions.
