Background <-> Foreground?

[Listing]

I am trying to draw a 2d-Menu over my 3d-Game.

Unfortunately the 3d-Part always overlays the 2d-Textures....

It doesn't matter if I write

Code: Select all

Instance->smgr->drawAll();
	Instance->guienv->drawAll();

or vice versa

The code looks something like this:

Code: Select all

//2d Part
driver->draw2DRectangle(...);

The 3d part is automatically drawn because it is an animated mesh node

Thanks for your help

You should try to put the 3d drawing method before the guienv->drawAll();, because since its different components, and since 2d has no depht values, the engine follows the draw-first philosofy.
If you cant, you could try to render your 2d to a texture and place it in a 3d plane in front of your screen... thats the hard way to do it....

hmm thats strange, because it should matter afaik. What settings do you use?

It works like Kalango said

I have to first issue "Instance->smgr->drawAll(); " and then do all the 2d-drawing stuff.

Annoying but ok...

Well. Thats what is excepted from the engine . A 2D element which can not be overdrawn would be more annoying, because maybe there are some situations overdrawing a 2D element by a 3D object can be useful.
