lunpa's problem of the week

[MrGannondorf]

w00t...
Is there a way to prioritize the drawing height of a showimg over another at the same screen layer? I mean, other than its x/y/z coordinate... unless there is a way to get, say, z to be the priority rather a y axis modifyer...

for example, lets say I use a polygon to blacken the screen. how can I make it so some stuff actualy draws over it, and still be in the middle of the screen?
