lovr.graphics.getDepthTest

Returns the current depth test settings.

compareMode, write = lovr.graphics.getDepthTest()

None

Name	Type	Description
compareMode	CompareMode	The current comparison method for depth testing.
write	boolean	Whether pixels will have their z value updated when rendered to.

Notes

The depth test is an advanced technique to control how 3D objects overlap each other when they are rendered. It works as follows:

Each pixel keeps track of its z value as well as its color.
If write is enabled when something is drawn, then any pixels that are drawn will have their z values updated.
Additionally, anything drawn will first compare the existing z value of a pixel with the new z value. The compareMode setting determines how this comparison is performed. If the comparison succeeds, the new pixel will overwrite the previous one, otherwise that pixel won't be rendered to.

Smaller z values are closer to the camera.

The default compare mode is lequal, which usually gives good results for normal 3D rendering.
