Move player character above fog layer?

[superafroboy]

Anyone know of a way to toggle the player character to be above the fog layer?

if its more of a cut scene deal your going for you could set up an event with the players sprite and click always ontop. just make the character itself transparent. Just a suggestion though im not 100% this will work with the fog.

One trick to make this work is to make a new viewport that is above the one the fog is drawn in, then use a copy of the player sprite in that viewport - of course, this will make the player drawn above everything the fog is drawn over, which can make things look rather bad depending on how the scene is setup. For example, if another character, or a tree, or something, is partially obscuring the player, it will no longer do so.

You could try mucking around with the sprite z to get this to all work out, but it would require some testing.

If you haven't gotten this to work yet, but still need help, I can give you something more detailed. Indeed, if having all characters over the fog is what you need - or something more along those lines, easier solutions may be possible.
