hey i got a weird problem, i have a floor under my terrain with an alpha of 0.2 to make water, but evrything i put under it is not visible from the top and same happens when you try to see something over it when you're under.. But it happens only with certain models, the terrain is perfectly visible under it..

SCREENSHOT:


d3d_set_hidden is to true, i tried to set it to false but the entire terrain messed up, it was just a nonsense mix of stuff...

Sorry for my english, is not my first language D:

make sure the floor draws last (using depth) so it knows there are weeds to show through it.

evrything has the depth of 0, so it should be -1,-2,-3,etc..?
EDIT: tried with -1 and 1, both cases nothing changed...

Draw water with lowest depth, e.g. -1000. Do not use d3d_set_depth for that, but set the depth in the object dialog.

the water and the terrain are drawn from the same object, so i do depth=??; draw_terrain(); depth=??; d3d_draw_floor(blablabla); isn't this way the same of making another object with his own depth? Anyway evrything has the depth of 0 so even -1 would work but sadly im trying and nothing changes even with -1000

No, so move it to it's own Water object. Each element has to draw in proper order from furthest to nearest when you have things that are alphaed. if the only thing that has alpha<1 is the water, you can get away with having only that element draw last.

depth defines when GM draws the object, so changing the depth value in code while the element has already been sorted and is currently being drawn has no effect.

Anyway evrything has the depth of 0 so even -1 would work but sadly im trying and nothing changes even with -1000

then -1 should work, so show us the code.

YAY! it works!


Thank you icuurd and brac! <3
