Overlapping path games

[kunjald]

Hello All,

I wanted to know about the games which are based on overlapping path for eg. Luxor. Where the path gets overlapped in some levels. I have a doubt of how this thing works with as3. Is it the index needs to be shifted for every moving object? or it has to be consistently making changes to objects z-position? or is it something with addchild overriding?

I am new to this 3D illusion for as3
Please help

Thanks

You can take a look here:

Of course, that's not the only way, and you can change the property it sorts by.

If you were talking about paths, I assume this is for a towerdefense type game? If so, then you'll need to get the current segment a unit is travelling on, and then interpolate between the nodes to get the current z value (or depth, or just some variable). That way you can define the path's depth in the path nodes, and then you don't need to change anything else, the units just travel along normally and adapt to the changing depths.
