Graphics / Render Overlap with TileLayer from tmxlite
« on: October 26, 2022, 04:08:14 pm »
Hello,
I am using tmxlite to parse my .tmx file using its MapLayer class from SFMLOrthogonalLayer.hpp. I am trying to implement basic overlap from the y position, i.e. the player walks in front of a tree then I draw the player first, and if they walk behind the tree, I draw the tree first.
I am having difficulties implementing this. In my case, all my trees are on a single TileLayer, Which when drawn draws chunks themselves made of sf::Vertex, but in the end the TileLayer is still rendered at once.
Is there an easy way to somehow get the layer to draw tile by tile ? This way I'd be able to do a check on the tile's y coordinate before drawing it or not. One other solution is to convert all the objects that the player interacts with in, well, objects in a ObjectGroup layer.
