Modify Z dept of parent/child actor

[Hares]

Is it possible to change the Z value of a child actor independently of the parent actor?

By default the Z depts seem to be linked between child & parent. If for example the parent has a Z dept of 0.6, and the child a Z dept of 1.0, the in the game the child will also have 0.6. The changes made to the Z value after an actor has been partented do not seem to have much effect. It only seems to effect the order between the child actors that are parented to the same parent.

No, to all other actors, parent's and children have the same zdepth, and children cannot have a zdepth lower than the parent's.

Thank you skydereign.
It would be nice to have indepent Z depts.
But at least now I know I don't have search for a workaround any more
