How do i change the layer of the pictures? (rpg maker 2003)

[uuui]

i wanna change a picture layer so that whenever my character touches it the image is in the layer below...

Then you need to remove the current picture and redraw it with a new Show Picture command, then you can set a new layer. I recommend using Variables for the X and Y coordinates. There's no simplier way to do it.

i'm not sure what u mean but when i use the show picture command the picture is at the above layer?

Ah, you want to have the picture between the GROUND and the UPPER Layer of the Chipset? And then below the entire Map? I'm afraid you cannot do that. The only technique to have a picture below the Map is to use a Map background, OR, you can use some tricks, eg screenshot the Map and use the Map as another Picture to make some illusions.

Wow I couldn't remember the Show Picture in Rm2k3 to be this powerful.

It wasn't before I created version 1.12 ;-)

Anyway, just a comment about that advice to remove the picture and then show it again with new settings: This is not necessary, just show it again with the different settings, no need to remove it first. In fact v1.12 has an optimization that it won't load the picture again from disk if another "show picture" is used on it as long as the filename stays the same (this is especially for spritesheets, but it works here as well), so explicitly removing the picture first would defeat this and cause an unnecessary disk access.
