Layer order issue nesting?

jamesfootlight

Hi,

I have an NPC prefab within an NPC prefab, as the root NPC carries the nested one.

However, whatever I do, when the scene starts, the nested NPC is put on order layer 2 and thus put in front of the root NPC.

See screenshots, what am I doing wrong?

Are you using follow sortmap script. you can set it so the child does not follow the order of parent ?

try looking there as a start

Try using two FollowSortingMap components - one for each NPC - and making sure that Also affect children? is unchecked.

Then check Offset original Order? on the child NPC, and give the Sprite Renderer an order of -1.  This will mean his order will always be one less than the parent.
