pieces always on top?

Module Design
1

I have a module I’m working on, where there is a section of the board that is selectable, so that I can change the layers on it for various things. Problem is that when I select that board section, any pieces or cards that had been moved on top of it are now underneath it and cannot be seen or selected. Is there a way to make it so that pieces can be made to be always on top of everything (and/or pieces always on the bottom), no matter what?

Thanks much.

you need to define game piece layers and then define which objects belong to
which game piece layer

That would be a fantastically helpful answer… if I had any idea how to actually do that. :confused: Can you please be more specific?

Thanks.

Okay, I found the link for working with Markers: vassalengine.org/wiki/Advanced_markers But where is the actual “Game Piece Layers” dialogue that I see there? I can’t seem to find that, or where to add that, anywhere in my module.

Where is this??

I found it… it’s an option in the Map Window.

Okay, I got it working. Thanks!
