Moving pic needs to be behind my hero

[hums]

I have a little train that the hero gets into to exit a level. It is a pic, which I show, then move, very very simple. Problem is, this only works if the train is in front of the hero. If I put the train behind the hero his head becomes transparent  when he goes near it. Do all my trains have to be in front of the hero in this game? Thanks very much

you may need to make a train chipset yourself. but:

1. open "system"
2.go to "chipset"
3. go to "passing block"
4.find the section f the train you want for the roof and click on it until a star appears above it (it could be a square, i cant remember which one it is) but then, when you put it on, when the character walks in, the roof wil be above him, covering him

you can do the same with ropes on bridges, roofs on houses or other tall objects.

hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply, and I do know about the star,x and o. That could work if I use the chipset method.

I already have a nice train chipset, but I can't get it to move. Oh, ok, I CAN get it to move, but it's a real heartache. The train is about 20 chips and each has to move and it's not moving together, its all warped and gets stuck. It's a "move event" command for 20 individual peices rather than one simple "move pic" command. I thought maybe I could just do something with my moving pic in photoshop, like dither it or something. Thanks again for your help. Guess I'll try it again!
