It's a new feature. It was supposedly implemented, but I seem to recall a recent jcl post where it might not be implemented despite the beta page saying it is. It might be in the next version. From beta 7.04.1 iteration: Quote: Panels, texts and view entities with a negative layer value are now drawn below VIEW objects, and can be used to draw into the background of a view when the sky is switched off.

I have saved a prefab of my background block and am using it as a map entity because i need it to be able the have a behaviour so that it always look at the camera/screen, what code should i use to change its skin or texture in this way?
