Thread: Tiled map

Hi I am programming a tiled map with three layers, where I want to draw Tiles by Zorder, smallest - largest, I have got it to work for the top of the map, however the further you go down the other tiles end up always drawing over the character I have on screen:

Any ideas of what I should be defining my ZOrder value at, currently they are:

m_nZOrder = this.m_nLayer *(m_Image.getLocation().y + m_Image.getHeight());

I have also tried just doing it by using this as well:

m_nZOrder = m_Image.getLocation().y;

which gets problems like this

i already tried using the bottom of the sprite (y + height), it doesn't work. thanks for the suggestion:-)

The character draws over the tiles, sorry I should have said that instead.
