Children of entity doesn't inherit z or opacity

[spustlik]

Hi, maybe i am wrong, but it is common, that child "inherits" props from parent... For now, it is "z" and "opacity" but i think, it is more. "scale" for example works well...

Steps to Reproduce

            let a = new ex.Actor({ pos: ex.vec(100, 100), z: 999 }); // z is important here
            a.graphics.use(new ex.Rectangle({ width: 100, height: 100, color: ex.Color.Blue }));
            let b = new ex.Actor({ pos: ex.vec(20, 20) });
            b.graphics.use(new ex.Rectangle({ width: 100, height: 100, color: ex.Color.Orange })); // z not inherits
            a.addChild(b);
            this.add(a);

Expected Result

orange rectangle over blue

Actual Result

blue is over orange rectangle

Environment

Engine Version: 0.30.0-alpha.1053+29fef3b

Current Workaround

b.z=a.z

@spustlik I have good news, we've made it so that z is inherited in the latest alpha build! Currently unreleased as of yet.

You can check out the PR here #3070 try the slightly newer alpha 0.30.0-alpha.1066+a8e5082

@spustlik Is the desire to also inherit opacity from the parent?

[spustlik]

Yes please, i think it is usually expected

It also came up in the discord that it might be useful for tint to also do this

@spustlik Children now inherit opacity should be deployed in alpha soon!
