It might be a good thing to have that order defined. Especially for comatibility on other engines, eg mac, or maybe XNA. Might be a good thing to put in the engine specification.

I have had a play over the last few days and it seems to be that the 'last one edited' is shown on top. I have been able to use this to resolve my drawing problem right now.

Thanks for the reply Pumaman

I am still very interested in the answer to this question.

(If someone were to provide an answer, I could share some executable test levels of my game. I have been working hard, and many graphics and three test levels. Cheers!)

AGS does need a t-shirt!
and a boxed edition!
and a donate button!!

I agree, the AGS website needs a big donate button! It would be good to have donating status reflected on our forum avatars aswell. Lemon64 is a good example of how to do it.

What is the in-game draw order for characters that are at the same position?

I have a whole lot of characters at the same position, and most of them appear in the same order as they are in the character list, but there will be an occasional maverick character which jumps right to the front and I'm not sure why.

I expect there the characters are not drawn in random order - even if it is a strange answer, I would like to hear it.
