GameMaker [SOLVED] black screen when using really low depth

[RicardoVL]

Hi All,

My objects have a depth = -y and when i walk down like 15000px my screen turns black.
Is there something to do about that?
If not, what is the max depth i can use?


ANSWER:

There is a minimum and maximum layer depth of -16000 to 16000.

Old depth = -y; solutions won't cut it anymore in GMS 2 with its layer system, you need to handle it manually.

Here is a recent article on implementing custom depth ordering in GMS 2.

You could also try putting this code somewhere in your game:
layer_force_draw_depth(true,0);

Seems to work for me (I also use depth = -y)

From the documentation on instance_create_depth:

IMPORTANT! There is a minimum and maximum layer depth of -16000 to 16000. Anything placed on a layer outside that range will not be drawn although all events will still run as normal.
