Inconsistent Z-layer of rendered tilemap

[geirsagberg]

I have a background image as SpriteBundle, a player character as a SpriteSheetBundle and the tiled map as a TiledMapBundle. I have adjusted the Z transform of the background image and the player so that the player is showing in front of the background. However, the tiled map sometimes shows behind the background, and sometimes in front:

• It seems completely random, with roughly a 50%/50% chance of the tilemap platforms showing up or not.
• Adjusting the transform of the TiledMap has no effect

I do not quite understand the render pipeline of bevy_ecs_tilemap; how does it work? How can I ensure that the tilemap shows up in front of my background image?

My code is here: https://github.com/geirsagberg/rusted_chrome_2

Hey, so this is an issue that is upstream, in bevy. It has been fixed on bevy's main: bevyengine/bevy#5942

See also related issue: bevyengine/bevy#6048

As for solutions: I will make a branch of bevy_ecs_tilemap that depends on bevy's main branch. Then, you can use this branch of bevy_ecs_tilemap in your work?

Excellent, thanks for the quick response :D And yes, a main-tracking branch would be sweet!

Done:
#310

Note: Not all examples are working yet, but it should be tracking bevy main and we'll get the examples updated soon!

@geirsagberg I'm marking this as closed since the issue is fixed in bevy main and we have a bevy-track branch. Please open a new issue if you think this is still a problem. 👍
