Text showing through

#1 Post by Gypsy31 »

Hello all.

I am working on an RMI that has a drum style DME readout. I was able to get the text to show but am having an issue with it showing through the needle as it rotates over it. How do I correct this?

Thanks in advance!

Bill

Hi Bill,


This probably has to do with the Z order of the needle and the text.

Note that Air manager lays newly created text and images on top of each other. In your case, I think you should first add the text (txt_add call or running_txt_add), and then add the needle image (image_add or img_add_fullscreen).

Let me know if this helps. If it doesn't, could you post your logic.lua script.
