Using Sprite Mask on a gameobject that has a Sorting Group causes the SpriteMask to only affect the children of the gameobject.
Why are these 2 separate components connected in such a way?
How do I get around this behavior?
I want to use a Sprite Mask on an object with a Sorting Group and have it affect all other sprites in the scene.
its a feature.
if you dont want it, remove the mask from the object with the sorting group
if you wanted a mask to affect only certain things, how are you supposed to do it without the sorting group mechanic?
think about it
if you remove this there would be a ton of people complaining that 1 mask affect everything when they want it to affect only things in one group
I don’t want to remove the mask. I want to have a mask with a Sorting Group that affects all sprites in the scene.
I believe there should be a separate component called “MaskingGroup” that would serve your use case.
Or at least give me an option to disable Sorting Group effects on masks.
Masking and sorting are 2 completely different things, they should not be bundled into one component.
So again, is decoupling these two possible?
no
Why don’t they also make Rigidbody affect the Camera component while they’re at it. Who made this? Fire them asap.
