ok so i have a background that follows the view
so its parent is view
and i also have an ammo count
this also follows the view
so its parent is the view

at a certin prt of my game you have to walk past a building
i want the sky to go behind the building
but not the ammo count

how do i do this?
but still make both actors
move withthe view?

Next to the transparency level in the actor control pannel (or whatever its called) there is another level called z-depth. Change the z-depth to a low setting. This way it will be under the building actor.
Do this with the ammo count, except instead of lowering the z-depth, raise it.
Hope I helped.

this would not work. Just use like x=view.x;

But cant you change the z-depth of a descendant actor?

z-depth is always relative to the parent.

Then do this:
unparent the actor momentarily, change the z-depth of the actor, and re-parent it.

none of that works
as soon as i change the parent
it automaticly gets the same z depth at the parent
HELLLP!!

try this instea

thanks heaps man
