I''m not too sure how to go about this in VB6. I don''t really know how to order all of my players, NPCs, and other objects so that they dont overlap when being drawn. I need some help on this subject and i appreciate any help that i get.

I''m not really sure about this, but it might help, I heard that you have to order on the z axis (z=x+y). I think Josh said that

Alot of topics have been made about this, so use the search button

Good luck

Assuming you are talking about a 2d, grid based view, sort your objects by their y-coordinate so the higher up the screen they are, the earlier they get drawn.

screen y coordinate = world x + y (or -x -y, depending on the coordinate system used for screen / world)

What kind of language is that? No wonder you''re posting as anonymous - screen coordinates and world coordinates are not the same since the world is rotated.
