Depth values

[Carnivius]

just curious (as trying to fix a bug with my game that popped up in recent GMS versions). What are the maximum depth values each way of 0?

Per instance_create_depth(), range is -16000 to 16000, and anything outside that range is supposedly not drawn but will exist and have its events run.

Ah thanks. I didn't know it said it there. I looked up 'depth' but it had no such info on the article of that variable.

I think I would agree the limitation should be highlighted in a few other places, not the least the depth variable itself.

I'm under the impression that we're not really supposed to be using depth anymore. (The layers system is intended to replace the depth system entirely.) I could be mistaken though.
