Weapon render in a different layer / camera?

[bbence]

Hi,

I'm struggling with an issue, namely player weapons culling in the wall and other objects.
Is it possible to circumvent this by rendering the weapon model independently from the other objects, e.g. in a different camera? In this way the weapon would be always on top?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Bence

Well, the weapon would be rendered last. I think you have to disable the Z-buffer or something so that it ends up rendered on top.

Thanks for the pointers!

I found that Actor.SetOverlay does that trick very conviniently.

I have to revise my statement a bit: SetOverlay does not work that well. The groups inside the mesh are also not Z sorted, therefore there are quite a lot of glitches.
The real solution (instead of enabling the SetOverlay) is to clear the z buffer right before rendering the weapon with Engine.ClearDepthBuffer
