How to put sprites on top of a Unity 4 button GUI

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I have a map with buildings as the buttons. And the character will walk to a building if it is clicked (after the button finished its animation sequence that is). It seems like the canvas for GUI always get rendered on top of the scene no matter what (and all its GUIs). Is it possible to do this? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks,

the GUI really does get rendered after everything else, IT was one of the reason why they deprecated it and started using UI which as many ways it can be rendered.

Did you try to move the sprite in front of the button??

@Fornoreason1000: I'm sorry, I haven't been pretty clear in my wordings. What I meant was the new GUI system (or UI?)where the whole UI will be put into a canvas, right? So, how do I put my sprite between 2 UIs in the canvas? @JustAGuy: Didn't work. Thanks for the comments though.

so you are using the new GUI (which everyone seems to call UI), theres a setting on the canvas component that allows you to change how it is rendered

Okay, I’ve managed to solve this myself. I turns out we can make multiple canvases. So I make 2 canvases. 1 Overlay, and the other with Screen Space Camera. And then, I put the Camera one in the lower sorting layer than the sprite. Thanks anyway guys. :slight_smile:
