Update Zdepth while in game

See original GitHub issue

I have a piece of code which updates the Z-index of the entity like so: entity.getTransformComponent().setZ(5);. I have tested it and I’m sure that the block of code is being executed, however: the update to the Z-index is never propagated to the screen and the entity remains above (or below) the other entities.

It seems you are running an old version of the snapshot:

15:50:43.799 [JavaFX Application Thread] INFO  Engine               - FXGL-dev-SNAPSHOT (11.02.2020 21.08) on MAC (J:11.0.1 FX:12.0.1)

Try force update maven dependencies. The build should be dated today 13.02.2020
