Hi there !

I'm using Löve Frames (GREAT library by the way ) for my game and I have problems with layers.
I explain myself : I have two gamestates, the first one is my game and the other one is the pause menu.
When the pause occur (P is pressed), I simply set a panel on visible(true) and modal(true) so the player can see the map but nothing is moving.
The problem is that the panel is drawn under the map which my game drawn with love.graphics.draw().

How can I make it upper it and not under ?

Thanks

The order in which you draw things is important. Put loveframes.draw() as the very last line in your draw code.

in my main.lua :

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
	Gamestate.draw()
    if Gamestate.current == Game then
        game:draw()
    end
    loveframes.draw()
end

It can't be lower =/

Can you provide a .love file so we can take a look at your code?

Of course !
Here it's my code

Ok, the drawing seems to work correctly if you move loveframes.draw() to your GameClass:draw() function in Game.lua:

Code: Select all

function GameClass:draw()
    self.map:draw()
	loveframes.draw()
end

Indeed it works ! Thank you very much

I don't think your state handling is quite proper.
Each individual component class should not have to include the state checking code in them. The state machine should decide whether or not to render something or give it input.

You also shouldn't be handling overflow with stencils, but with scissors. You should be using a scissor stack to handle each of the children panels.

Creating custom components is also a bit of a hassle.

both of those things are very, very easy to fix. i'm not sure how active this project is, but i definitely think it could do with an update. more skins would be pretty awesome too
