z depth help please

[mrgame]

im making a kinda 3d game
but ive got a small problem

say theres a box

when the player is behind the box the zdepth should be high

when the player is in front the zdepth should be low

its a kinda game with the layout of habbo hotel
the diagonal walk ect



so wt would i do?

here's a little turtorial.
The ball can still go through the box, but it would be too complicated to try removing that bug.
Also, check again if u are REALLY serious in making a 3d game with GE. It's really hard (almost impossible)
About Habbo Hotel, have u heard about the teenies arrested because of stealing virtual furniture?

never mind

I thought you wanted your player go bigger or smaller

look at the pic.
its not backward and forward its kinda diagonal.
all i wanted was
when player is behind (above slightly) the box its got a high z depth
and when player is infront (below slighlty ) the box has low zdepth

i use feet. it was only way to make this psoible. player has seperate feet.
its realy hard to exsplain let me send a demo of da game in .exe

as you can see the box if you manage to get to it. it kinda has the zdepth thing but thats because it has two actors next to it.
but i need a code that dose the same thing
