I've been trying to place coins/money bags behind for instance a chest, but the chest always appear behind the bags, no matter how I do it

I've seen it in lots of other mansions, treasures covered by stuff... how do I do it? Sprites seem to appear in all layers at the same time so it doesn't seem to help to put them in different layers...

anyone?

I'm aware of the problem, too..... and have told Vern about it, about a year ago:

Unfortunately not all decorative sprites have a checkbox for "Foreground".... which is often a real nuisance. It was even worse in the Exp.Pack...where - gladly - Vern has put a few more in, after I complained about it. But there are still enough things that could need such a checkbox..... 'cause, as you say, it doesn't help at all if you place them in layer-6....they're still in the background....until they have such a checkbox, of course.

ah... but I never [stupid me] checked with the red pointer... at least I can make the chest appear in the foreground... thanx :)
