Why is my LineRenderer behind everything.

[crude flume]

I’m new to unity and I’m making a fishing game. Basically I’m using a line renderer for casting but whatever I do it’s behind everything. I’ve tried sorting layers but those aren’t working. The only condition I got it to work was using a Z offset but that made it infrount of everything.

Line renderers use 2D sorting just like sprites, with Z position (average of the line points) and sorting layers:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/2DSorting.html
But a compatible shader for 2D sorting is required, such as ParticlesUnlit

Sorting layers aren’t working for me

What shaders are your sprites and line renderer using then

[crude flume]

I don’t have shaders on any of it

[keen remnant]

Can't render anything without a shader
That's why all renderer components must have a material

So which are your sprite and line renderers using?

[crude flume]

Oh let me se where I find that

[crude flume]

My line uses the standard shader and everything else uses default too

[keen remnant]

Be more specific

[crude flume]

What one of the objects that is covering the line

[keen remnant]

Is the material on your line "standard" or something else?

[crude flume]

Just standard

[keen remnant]

That's a 3D lit shader, not exactly a 2D shader
Do you intend to have 3D lighting on your line?

[crude flume]

No

Then swap it for "Particles/Standard Unlit" and set Rendering Mode to Fade
Or alternatively "Legacy Shaders/Particles/Alpha Blended Premultiply" if you want the shader that's actually used for lines by default
I recommend the standard unlit particle shader but you can try the legacy one if you run into some issues
