I have a plain, a sprite and a text.
The sprite is drawn in front of my plain.
That i want is to write the text (with text command) on the sprite (so, the plain is in the back, and the sprite is backward my text).

How can i do this?
Thx

I asked that same question a long time ago but I never got a real answer. My solution (I was making an FPS demo) was to just make the toolbar partially transparent so you could see the text.

Obviously this won't work if you're making a 2D game

Hopefully someone will be kind enough to reply with an answer, whether it's possible or not.

Yeah, I know, I only have one game. Yeah, I know it sucks. But I made it! Me!

I hope this helps:

Paste the text onto a bitmap and then use GET IMAGE and make a new sprite. If you need to have a background on the sprite, paste the sprite image onto the bitmap before using the TEXT command.

an other thing (sorry for not editing, but when i click on "edit this post", it drives me on the main page)
I tried with this code (i created a function)



(sprit is the number of the sprite)
i call it like that:
CentreTextSurSprite(9,20,20,AffichageTouche(7) + " / " + AffichageJoy(7))

and the result is strange (to compare on the image, i made on the top a: text 1,1,AffichageTouche(7) + " / " + AffichageJoy(7))


An idea?

There is no way of controlling the order of display of text / sprites as far as I know. This has long been missing from DBP.

To erase a sprite just do DELETE SPRITE, to change the image just call SPRITE again (I don't think you have to delete it first)

I change a little bit my code:

CentreTextSurSprite(210,0,0,AffichageTouche(7) + " / " + AffichageJoy(7))
sprite 210,1,1,210

So, i've a better thing but it's still strange -_- (i let the text command just upper)

Add an extra ,1 to your GET IMAGE command. That should sort it out.

you can set the order that sprites appear in by using the 'set sprite priority' command, but this doesnt affect text over sprites. We really need a 'Draw text to front' command that draws it over sprites & 3D.
