Getting the z-order of an object

[tsal]

Is there a way to read out and compare the z-order of objects?

I would like to implement a drag & drop. Unfortunately, all objects at the mouse position react to the “touching mouse-pointer?” block. I only want to filter out the upper object.

My approach is to search for all objects at the mouse position with “sprites at mouse-position” and then only address the one with the highest z-order. But how do I get the z-order as a number? There doesn't seem to be an attribute for this.

It would be great if the my-block (my neighbors etc.) also had a “my z-order” attribute. Or can this be found somewhere else?

Been asked by someone else:

@ego-lay_atman-bay

If you ask the stage for (my [other sprites V]) , it reports a list of all the sprites in the project in layer order, so you can just do this

Thank you, this works perfectly for me.

Nevertheless, it would be helpful to have "my z-order" or "my layer" as an attribute in the my-Block.

I made it into a custom block, if it helps:

Just as a tip (for @tsal ) you can drag and drop snap script pics into snap, and you'll get the code in that image back into the editor.

Thanks for the tip, I didn’t know that before. It even works in multiple languages!
