Is there a Z layer on the UIElements?
i was also looking for this the other day, i could not find it. so if you cant and i cant i guess not lol
-
Well that's going to be a tough one to workaround
-
This is not fixed with the addChild order?
-
Unfortunately this isn't possible
UI Toolkit does not expose the z order and provides no way to change it. Even though Unity added this feature to their roadmap 3 years ago, it's still not available yet...Right now the Z order depends on the order when these elements were created (and parents are always drawn behind their childs). There is no workaround for that...
The problem is that I want to interlace with existing HUD elements, so I can't add them as a child to those. Maybe I could somehow grab them... 🤔
Does that mean you want to change the parent of a vanilla HUD element?

I was hoping to grab vanilla HUD elements and add children to them

Oh, this is actually possible^^ But since this is a bit hacky (and may break with future updates), it's only possible through the Internals class. You could use the Internals.addUIElementToPlayer() method (instead of Player.addUIElement()) to add a UI element to an arbitrary target (this could be any UI element in the game).
It's a bit tricky to find the correct path of an element on HUD, but you could use the uidebugger console command to get the target path of a vanilla element

Hmm 🤔 I may have to rethink this one.... we'll see.
Thanks for the info though!
