Hi Guys,

I am faced with a problem for my HUD; how do I 'print' in front of 2D sprites? It's very annoying! I am trying to make a simple game but it's restricted because I can't print text (or numbers for that matter) in front of the sprites! And I can't use that command that simply displays sprites first, because I have a skysphere and they disappear behind it. Please help!

Thanks,
Clonkex

Hide the sprite and use Paste Sprite. Then you can draw text on top of it.

You can try this command, call it once in the begining, before main loop:

No, that makes it draw the sprites before even the 3D objects so my skysphere stops the sprites being visible at all.
