[Papervision3D] ViewportLayer index sorting problems example (I think ; ).

[John Brookes]

It is set to true though.

The second block of code in the last example.
parentLayer.getChildLayer(AquaRedContainer, true,true).layerIndex = 2;

If you use the second block of code then that AquaRedContainer is index
sorted but it's children remain Z-sorted.

Same code (see below) only with the second block.

WIth
parentLayer.getChildLayer(AquaRedContainer, true,true).layerIndex = 2;

AquamarinePlane.z = -600;
RedPlane.z = -500;

So you will see aqua red

swap tham round

AquamarinePlane.z = -500;
RedPlane.z = -600;

You see red aqua

hence ;) The children are Z sorted.

And if you do
parentLayer.getChildLayer(DO3D, true,false).layerIndex = 2;
then the DO3D ignores the layerindex sits at the back and still z-sorts its
children.

Basically, don't use
parentLayer.getChildLayer(DO3D, true,false).layerIndex =
On DO3D with children.

Use
parentLayer.getChildLayer(DO3D, true,true).layerIndex =
On DO3D with children.
And remember it's children will be z-sorted.


At least I think that's how it goes ;)
