How do you set the image as your background?

In the editor, create a new layer (name it "background" if you want). Make sure the layer is at the top of the list.

Method A:
1) Place the image in the editor/maps/map_name/images directory
2) In the editor: Edit -> Refresh resources
3) Place sprite. The image will be there.

Method B:
1) "Import large PNG" function in the editor.

Method B is what I tried. Method A works, thanks silent.

I have a question. How do you change an object so players fly behind it instead of in front? And actually, on one of my maps I have the opposite problem. How do I modify the object so planes fly in front of it?

Also, is it possible to hide a powerup behind a non-collidable object?

For players to fly behind an object, it needs to be in the foreground layer.

For players to fly in front of it, it needs to be in a background layer.

You can make as many layers as needed, though keep in mind that more layers may affect performance, so don't go crazy with it. 3-5 layers (including game layer) is about what you want.
