dgl draws on top of unnecessary elements

by Justin Mosiman · in Torque Game Builder · 03/10/2009 (8:39 pm) · 3 replies

For my game, I have it draw a selection box when the user clicks and drags. I am using dglDrawRect to do this, and this works well except one aspect. The rectangle also draws on top of elements that I don't want it to draw on top of, such as gui controls. Is there a way I can specify what layer it does not draw on? Or something instead of dglDrawRect?

Thanks,
Justin

If you could live with a filled rectangle (mostly transparent though) then you could use a static sprite and resize it. Alternately, you should be able to use the shape vector.

Hi Melv,

Thank you, I'll try going with the shape vector route.
