I'm making a zelda-like 2D Role-Playing-Game with XNA and wanted to implement a camera which follows the player today. Soo... I didn't really understand how it's working, but I found a nice code-example here: http://www.david-amador.com/2009/10/xna-camera-2d-with-zoom-and-rotation/ I implemented it and changed the spritebatch.Begin(); to what the guy in the thread said. Now it is working ... well. The collisions are alright and the player is centered (since I set the position of the camera to the position of the player once a frame) but: The textures don't get drawed the way they did before. So for example the shadow is drawn under the grass (=you can't see the shadows) the player is sometimes drawn over the NPCs and sometimes under them and the wall-tiles disappear and reappear like they want :(
Do I have to change the drawing-code or the order they get drawn?
Hope somebody know what I am doing wrong...
In your Spritebatch.Draw call you can specify the layer depth. When specifying the layer depth, you will need to use the proper Sprite Sort Mode when initializing your SpriteBatch.
