    Hey there!

    I'm trying to achieve a specific visual effect: make 2d sprites visible through walls (or any other sprite that renders on top of it). The image below gives an example of the desired effect.



    There are tons of examples out there explaining how to achieve this effect in 3D games, but I haven't found yet a solution to this effect in 2d games.

    Right now I'm looking for any clues on how to achieve it. Does anyone have an idea on how to approach this?

    Also, I would like to know if there is a specific name to describe this effect - it probably would help me a lot when searching for solutions or talking about this particular effect.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hey, did you ever find an answer? I'm actually trying to achieve the same effect, but can't find much that it is recent

    Use stencil shaders.

    This should be exactly what you're looking for :
