Dirtylarry controls appear over everything else

raul.carolus · September 20, 2018, 5:22pm

I have a dialog message that is supposed to appear over a login window, but the dirtylarry controls I have appear OVER the dialog.

The dialog is set with a higher z value than the login GO.

Where can I start looking for this issue?

Thanks.

Have the dialog in a separate GUI, and use:

gui.set_render_order(15)

API reference (gui)

I wonder if Defold could easily add a control for this into the GUI scene editor.

z-values are ignored by gui components.If you have multiple gui components their individual render order is controller through gui.set_render_order().
