This could eb one of those wierd Z-sorting things. In which case you have my sympathy. =\

you need to set your objects render order by seting its Higharchy.
And you should seporate out textures that are transparent from ones that are not, if they are all the same texture, this will happen.
Its a querk of Torque (a flaw in my eyes).

The Z-sorting problem is a bitch and a half, even more so on animated objects.
Sadley, you will also find that totaly unrelated objects in the engine will "Flip" positions also when they come near each other. IE: Tree branch showing in front of your players hair in some situations. Or, two trees, the forground being pushed behind the background tree at some angles.
Its very limmiting.
