Ok, so I've tried my hand at scripting, and so far, everything is how I want it, BUT my equipment scene is being a turd and it's not exactly.... working. What I want to know is how to change the z value of the cursor so that it shows above a picture.
the cursor as a sprite, or the selection rectangle? or is it a mouse pointer like cursor?
It's the normal cursor out of the default stuff from the windowskin.
The cursor, just as the text contents of a window, is placed at the window's z-coordinate plus two by default.
If you have a window at z=100, you can put a picture at z=101 and it will be visible over the windowskin's background but under the text and the cursor.
