[4.0 Beta]-How To Set "Z-Index" Of A Rich Text label?

JeZxLee

Hi,

Making progress...

Ran into an issue:
How do we set the "Z_Index" of a Rich Text Label using Godot v4.0 ?

Let me know, thanks!

Jesse

if createTexts == true:
	VisualsCore.DrawText(VisualsCore.TextCurrentIndex, ButtonText[index], 0, -99999, 1, 25, 1.0, 1.0, 0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
	VisualsCore.Texts.TextImage[index].set_z_index(0.5) #ERROR On Running?

You didn't say what the error was, but I would guess it's because set_z_index takes an integer parameter (between -4096 and 4096), not a float like 0.5.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
Getting: "Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'set_z_index' in base 'RichTextLabel'."
Any ideas? (on Godot v4.0 Beta 2 now)

NOTE # 1: How to raise a "Rich Text Label" above a "Sprite" in Godot 4 ?

That's cause it's not a function. You can check the docs, but I don't see anything there.

Does this work?
top_level = true
