I need a little help with character overlapping. The player needs to under and overlap the house in the image below, but I don’t know how this is the first issue in my game besides the cursor always overlapping the sprites. Can you help me out? A message for Microsoft…

Like the x and y position of a sprite, the z index is something you can change using that “set (mySprite) ” dropdown block. If you set the z level of your sprite high enough, it will be drawn on top of the house. Normally Z index of sprites is always the same, and the draw order is simply that newer sprites are drawn on top of older ones, but try increasing the z index of your player sprite until it is fixed.
