Putting Juni behind scenery blocks

I've noticed that in the original Knytt, you could go "behind" scenery blocks into secret areas, with only your "glow" visible on the screen. However, in the knytt stories, I've yet to see a secret area where you go behind the scenery blocks instead of in front.

That kinda sounded confusing, but does that make sense? I'd like to make a secret area in my game where Juni goes behind the scenery blocks instead of in front of them. Is there any way to do that?

Yes.
Layers 6 and 7 are the only layers drawn in front of Juni, so you need to create custom objects. I don't know if the glow would be visible though.

You can, using custom objects of the tiles you want to put in front. However, this method can be hard and you can't code it with the Level manger.
When you get the Custom Objects, you just put them in the layer 6/7 like bulbapuck says.

actually, scenery that's supposed to appear on a layer in front of Juni is one of the easiest applications for custom objects: instead of using a tile from the tileset, you make a .png of the tile and use it as a custom object. it gets a little more complicated when you have a lot of different tiles that you want to appear in the front, but since scenery (like walls like you probably mean) doesn't have to move, it doesn't really need special animation codes.

you can achieve the glow by giving the detector powerup and using the "secret"-glow (check the object compendium (for that check the [search])), which you put where the secret passage is.

Here are some examples of what you want in action:

Sputzna by Farik It's only a demo, but it does exactly what you want to do. Look in the green underground area around x1044y1010.

Realms of the Pharaoh by Ozz It's a more recent example that puts semi-transparent tiles in front of Juni. It also makes use of the Ghost Eye power.

Thanks guys! I'll try some of your ideas.

I have had an issue with that. I made the Two tiles i needed images in the object bank, And it worked in the editor. However, when i then tested my level the two blocks Did not Even Appear in the level. is there anyway to fix this?
i do declare that it is Quite frustrating.
I have pitchers if you wish to see them.

you must put the object in the custom objects bank and make an animation for it (if you don't want it to animate, just use one picture)...

Why do i Need to animate? they are Stationary tiles. the only reason i did that was to create a secret area.

The way you wrote it, it seems you put the tiles in the in the Data folder, which only replaces the icons you see in the Editor. For Custom Objects in general you need to put the new objects in the "Custom Object" subfolder inside the folder of your level and edit the World.ini file to use them.

okay, so i create the sub-folder and then just put the custom objects in that folder, correct?

Correct. Then, open the World.ini file in your level's folder and add the proper code. It will look something like:
[Custom Object 1]
Image=CoverTileA.png
Tile Height=24
Tile Width=24
Init AnimTo=0
Init AnimRepeat=1

[Custom Object 2]
Image=CoverTileB.png
Tile Height=24
Tile Width=24
Init AnimTo=0
Init AnimRepeat=1
