You can set the priority With the Command [SET SPRITE PRIORITY],
But is there a way to tell what the priority of a Sprite is?

Yes, But if you use [SET SPRITE PRIORITY] then you can set which sprite is displayed on top of others

I need somthing like

Value = SPRITE PRIORITY(1)

But this dosent work, so im wondering if theres some other way to do this...

you could dim a variable and everytime you change sprite priority store the new priority in the array.

supposing your game had 200 sprites

at the beggining of your program i'd have something like:

dim spritepriority(200)

then in your program make your own sprite making function something like:

function mysprite(spriteno,x,y,image,priority)

sprite spriteno,x,y,image,priority
spritepriority(spriteno)=priority

endfunction

then in your main loop every time you make a sprite use your own sprite function
eg this would make a sprite 10 with image 5 at 100,100 with priority 3:

mysprite(10,100,100,5,3)

now if you need to find the priority of sprite 10 you just look in spritepriority(10).
