How To

Sprite priority not working?

I’m trying to make sprite 1 display over sprite 0. This isn’t working, I’ve tried putting the attribute code in the loop aswell and explicitly setting sprite 0’s priority to 0 but that didn’t do anything either.

Sprites are funny... the rule for how they overlap are simple... they go by Sprite number.. think of a mine shaft, how deep are you?

Sprite 0 is at the very top the shaft, it blocks all other sprites
Sprite 1 is 1 level down, it is below Sprite 0 but is above all other sprites..
Sprite 2 is 2 levels down... etc, etc,

Nothing you can do about it..

And the priority attribute is just for their relation with the background (BG) layers. By default sprites are always in front of the BGs, but if a BG cell has the priority attribute set, it will appear in front of the sprites. If now a sprite also has priority set, it will go to the front again.
