Req. Setlayer & bglayer

[MatMan]

Could a option be added to be able to set a panel behind the background/bglayer.

[Damon Caskey]

You already can by using a panel type and going nuts with setlayer. It takes an insane value, but does work.

Thanx, will try again.

F***! I don't want to sound stupid or noobie, but I never try using bglayer. Is the bglayer like background in code, but have animation(s)? Also, I'm confused with the use of setlayer and bglayer.

[BeasTie]

Setlayer is for entities

Code: [Select]

setlayer {int}

~This entity will be displayed as if it were at z position {int}, regardless of it's actual position.
Check manual about bglayer, I'll let someone else answer that, I'm still learning too use it properly myself

 Bglayer can't be animated, it's practically another background which is placed in front of default background.

 You would use bglayers if your background is complex e.g has clouds, buildings, and other scenery.

[MatMan]

like bloodbane said and you also have alot more control using bglayer and remember you don't have to use background at all anymore.
