Help! Ordering objects by y value?

[dylan6091]

Please help! I've invested a lot of time into making an isometric football game, but I need to find a simple way for the football player NPCs to appear in front of or behind other NPCs based on their Y position in the screen. Unfortunately, there are too many players on the field - 22 to be exact - to simply say:

(when y-value of "NPC-1" is greater than y-value of "NPC-2", move "NPC-1" in front of object "NPC-2")

Any ideas?

Layer object.

Place it on the same layer as your players and set an event on it to Always > Sort by Y value.

Wow thanks for the fast response! can you elaborate? I'm unfamiliar with any layer object.

Actually, I think I got it. Thanks again for making me aware of this tool. Can't believe I never knew all these years. Makes life so much easier.
