tk2dParallaxCamera script + tk2dTileMap, z-index issue

[Neeko]

I'm attempting to implement the tk2dParallaxCamera script with tk2dTileMap. The problem I'm facing is that the parallax layer is drawing on top of all other layers (instead of behind), and I can't figure out why. I've followed the example parallax project and everything seems to be in order as far as I can tell.

My tile map is setup as such:


And my cameras:



Do you notice anything wrong? Is there something else I'm not considering? Thanks.

The order with the parallax cameras is defined by camera depth parameter on each layers camera. Make sure they are in the order you want them to draw in.

I made sure that the main tk2dCamera has a depth of -1, and that the child parallax layer camera has a depth of -2, but now that layer isn't viewable at all in the game. Only when that camera has a depth of -1 (or higher) does that layer draw, but still on top of the the other layers. I've tried fiddling with the values in the same fashion but to no avail.

Turn off the cameras one at a time to make sure they are all set up properly. You can try making sure you have 1 camera which does the clear and everything else just clearing depth. This is most likely because something is writing to z when it isn't meant to or not clearing it when it needs to. Hard to guess how you have it set up.

It seems setting the sort layer order for the layers in the tile map, along with fiddling with other properties, resolved the issue. Thanks!
