how to position a group in front of a tilemap layer

[valueerror]

layerforeground.bringToTop();

this is the line at the end of my create function to make sure my player walks behind this layer..

good..  but

 

i want all my enemies to be in front of the foregroundlayer..   if i bring my enemies to top in a foreach loop they will only be on top of their own group... as the documentation states..

 

so i tried this:

enemies.z = layerforeground.z + 1;

and the group "enemies" gets the z-index 33 while layerforeground has 32..   i thought that the group would now be infront of the layer but it isnt

If your foreground has the same parent group (the default world group?) as your enemies group then you should be able to move the whole layer to the top:

enemies.parent.bringToTop(enemies);

[valueerror]

TypeError: Cannot read property 'parent' of undefined   

 

the group is there..  parent is the world..   at least a console.log(enemies.parent) says that at the same place..  thats weird...

That is weird! Post more code if you feel like it and I'll have a look.

try this:

 

game.world.bringToTop( <your Groupe or Graphic> );

Works. Group has a world as its parent, so this is the way, to bring the group to the top.
