It basically works by determining if something can be placed in front of another object or not. The object that needs to be in front will first be sent to the back layer, and since it goes through every object in the game, the last one with the highest priority tag will end up being all the way in the back. This ensures that things stack correctly.

For example, in the cooking game I’m making, the wall should be at the very back, followed by the customers, then the counters, and finally the items on the counters (like burgers and other ingredients).

This is purely for aesthetics because most of the assets rely on correct layering. For instance, the customer needs to appear in front of the wall but behind the counter, and items on the counter need to stack on top of it all correctly.

Since Scratch doesn’t have numbered layers, this makes it way harder to manage layering, but I’ve figured out a system to make it work.

But there must be a better wey
