I think the best idea is to actually use 2d plains as your 2d stuff rather then sprites then your whole world is 3d but looks 2d like you aimed to...

However you could look at the help file search for getting screen coords from 3d and vice versa so youll get the exact 2d screen coordinates from your 3d object position ...

The game is almost completed with 200'000+ lines of code. Using 2d plains it is not suitable for me at all! It's the same if you advise me to use Unity instead of AGK... lol
I have a kind of isometric game made with sprites and I want to to put into it a butterflies using animated 3d-object, so how can I do whis with best and fastest(for gpu) way?
