Title: Sorting Layers and Static Batching
Post by: jrhee on February 01, 2014, 08:26:02 am

Hello,

Couple quick questions regarding static batching and Unity 4.3's sorting layers:

1) Is there any way to preserve the sorting layer when using the static batcher? It seems whenever a static batch is committed, the sorting layer of the underlying sprites is reset to the default.

2) Is there any way Order in Layer can be used with a static batch?

If neither of the above are possible, is there a recommended approach to ensuring correct sort order for static batched sprites?

Thanks!

No, this is intentionally left out because once a model is merged into a static batch it can't then interact with Unity sprites. A static batch gets merged into one mesh, and only one sorting layer / order in layer can be assigned. i.e. they won't sort with other things outside the batch as they would before committing.

Makes sense, thanks for the quick reply  :)
