Feature Request | Being able to draw over the player

Pulp Feature Requests

For some reason, I thought you were able to draw over the player in Pulp.

I had planned to use this in moments when I wanted to draw a transparent tile over the player to temporarily to have the effect of something being in front of the player.

For example...

This lamp post

The tops of trees

Or the post from this dock

There are many other examples but you get the idea.

Without this, I may need to create a system where the player is always hidden and then I draw them myself which would make me cry :sob:

I love that first scene with the lampost and the cat!

Also, this feature would be great idea.

Yes! I Tried To Make A Well For A Game, And I Wanted To Have The Character Appear Below The Roof Of It- That's When I Realized It's Not Actually Possible

Wait, what's the problem with hiding the player and drawing the bottom tile at px,py instead? Does performance take a big hit?

Because of the way my player sprite is drawn as a mix of draw tiles and fill extras. And because we use a custom animation system AND because we have different states on if you are holding a lamp or not....

This just felt like a step too far.
