Spawning bug on top layer actor

Toby

Found a possible issue with GS 0.8.3 and spawning another actor.

1. if you have an actor which spawns another actor which is on the very topmost layer in the layers window it will not spawn in front of the actor.

2. Moving the Actor below another actor by 1 layer and the spawning works fine? I assume because there is a layer above to spawn into it works?

Anyone else had this same problem?

CodeMonkey

Is there any offset to position relative to the actor? I am unable to reproduce that bug.

Nope just spawning at 0,0 relative to actor

I've made a quick little sample with some basic actors and it's working in my test with no graphics........ grrrrrr. Just not in my game.

Must be some other factor stopping it - will have a bit more of a dig around.

It's definitely not spawning behind anything because it's on the very top layer in my game.
Drop it down 1 or 3 levels and it works?

Trying to display a dialogue box over the top of everything.
