How to change immediate text display layer? Seems stuck at 64

[hsandt]

Hello, thanks for making this plugin! I just installed it today and I tried to draw a simple label, but it appeared below my HUD.

My HUD CanvasLayer was on layer 100, so I reduced the number to compare. I found out that it is still over the immediate GUI at 64, but goes under it at 63.

I searched source code for those numbers, to no avail. I don't see a setting to change it, and the priority parameter doesn't affect it (I think priority is more for ordering text).

Is there a way I can tune the display layer of the text?

Fortunately 64 is high enough, I can just put my HUD in the middle e.g. 32. But it's still be good to know in case I work on another project using high layer numbers.

Ah, I could confirm my hypothesis by inspecting the remote tree, where DebugDrawManager is on CanvasLayer 64:

However, it's not an autoload singleton so I don't have direct access, but it shouldn't be too complicated to find that node and set CanvasLayer layer if needed.

You can use DebugDraw2D.custom_canvas on the desired layer.

An example from the demo:

DebugDraw2D.custom_canvas = %CustomCanvas if Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_ALT) else null

I feel dumb, but I only thought about it after the previous part of the comment..

Just change layer of DebugDrawManager:
