You can not draw shapes at a given depth. When you draw something it can only be drawn from the drawing objects depth. SO, if you want to change the depth of the rectangle you have to change the depth of the object which is drawing it.
On a side note, if this is something you think you will need to do a lot, it may be worth making a controller object that does the drawing for you, and wrap it in a script. So, instead of draw_rectangle(blahblah...) you would say draw_rectangle_depth(blahblah) and in your custom draw_rectangle_depth() script you would have it just create an instance at the depth you want to draw.

if i just make the depth = -100000; it is solved. GML GUI system in my opinion is far more clunky buggy and slow then simply using draw functions.

I haven't mentioned a GUI system, I'm talking about the Draw GUI Event, which is exactly the same as the regular Draw Event except that it draws on top of everything else and with fixed coordinates that are not affeced by camera or view positions.
What clunky / buggy / slow issues are have you experienced using the Draw GUI Event?
Maybe you are getting confused and thinking I was recomending some sort of GUI system?

I thought you where referring to the GUI System i tried to use Shuan Spladling system but it was way to clunky and far to hard to draw new text so i just use the draw event. I will look into the Draw GUI event.
