In a game with a top-down perspective, how can you make it so that objects with greater Y positions appear in front while those with lower Y positions appear in back? (i.e. Since the objects are constantly moving, their Y positions are constantly changing. How can you make it so that one object is in front at one moment and in the back at another?)

Make collision markers (invisible walls) and add these two events:
+Y of ("Player") is lower or equal Y of ("Whatever")
-Order ("Player") to back
+Y of ("Player") is greater Y of ("Whatever")
-Order ("Player") to front
That should solve it

I think the Layer object has this as a simple function, built in. Otherwise you could create a list of objects, use a sort algorithm to put it in Y order, and then put them in front in that order. Somewhat complicated

If you have the layers extention, you just need to set to Always and it's got an automatic command I believe, but that takes care of most of it. If you need objects in a specific place, you can position them in the same command using the bring to front or back, ect.

Indeed, layers extention handles this well. You can also arrange via alterable values etc. I have used this extention for that very purpose a few times.

Hey jneumann1, Pixelthief isn't Batman .... he might be Batman's SuperComputer though ... some of the things he's made with math is so complex and astonishing, it amazes me.
I use the Y axis method that Black Jaguar mentioned, simply because I know of no better way.
