How would I be able to put an NPC on top of another NPC?

For example, say I have a shelf npc, and I want to put a beer npc on top... how would I do that?

(I've tried already, either one of the npcs disappear on the bottom and can't be seen)

create the shelf npc first, then the beer npc. npcs are displayed in the order which they were created

Holy hell.

I didn't know that.

okay, I'll try that. thanks galen.

Erm...
 

In the editor, that's often true....
At runtime though, it goes layer first (drawoverplayer beats regular beats drawunderplayer), then base Y (objects that touch the ground more to the south are drawn over same-layer objects "behind" them to the north.)

Hmm...
 

Well I tihnk that if you give the shelf drawunderplayer and the beer just plain nothing that it gets drawn over the shelf ^^, but anywho if you are making use of changeimgvis here's the true explanation of it:

changeimgvis index,0; Means drawunderplayer.
changeimgvis index,1; Means Drawasplayer, I.E. if a player is standing in front of it hes drawn over it, but if he stands besides it he's draw under it.
changeimgvis index,2; Means drawoverplayer. (Default)
changeimgvis index,4; Means draw as stat, this type of showimg also work slightly different and isn't effected by seteffect effects and is drawn over everything always.

hehehe
 

Hehehe... I KNEW THAT! lol

I found that out making my quest, I had a ton of NPCs in a row.

Yay! Now the NPCs work, w00h00!
