    Default Tiled map

    Hi I am programming a tiled map with three layers, where I want to draw Tiles by Zorder, smallest - largest, I have got it to work for the top of the map, however the further you go down the other tiles end up always drawing over the character I have on screen:
    map.jpg

    Any ideas of what I should be defining my ZOrder value at, currently they are:

    m_nZOrder = this.m_nLayer *(m_Image.getLocation().y + m_Image.getHeight());

    I have also tried just doing it by using this as well:

    m_nZOrder = m_Image.getLocation().y;

    which gets problems like this

    You're going to have to play with a couple different things. You haven't posted an MCVE, so it's really hard to debug this for you. What if you use the bottom of the sprite (y+height) as the z order?

    What exactly do you mean when you say "it doesn't work"? It's pretty impossible to help you with the information you've provided.

    The character draws over the tiles, sorry I should have said that instead.
