[DX8] Graphic layer?

[Emy]

So, I would like to make a layer that works if you're + 1 tile below the layer you would be infront of it and if you're - 1 tile you would be behind it. Does that make sense? Is there a smart and easy way to do this?

It would look better if this worked for players, npcs, paperdolls, chatbubbles and stuff too, in my opinion.

Thanks!

You could add a ground layer with tile the same as a fringe level and then make it so on draw the fringe tile if player y value is < then tile Y then don't draw it?
