As mentioned in topic, for some reason I need text to be UNDER a sprite and status. (I mean, for example, make text being covered by a bush, making it irreadable for a while). Simple workaround like

int &sex = say_xy("I am horny", 30, 30);
sp_que(&sex, -1000);

doesn't work at all.

Any ideas?

I had a similar problem and I went like this:

say_stop_xy("`%(You don't need to go back in there)", 20,380);

It made the text appear near the bottom of the screen.

EDIT:Actually, I put it on a touch command...

void touch( void )
{
if (&story > 3)
{
say_stop_xy("`%(You don't need to go back in there)", 20,380);

}

}

No, no, that's not that I'm looking for. I don't want the text to be "in the bottom part of the screen", I want it to be "invisible" due to sprite drawn OVER it...

As far as I know, text will always appear over sprites.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
It'd be a bit of work, but why not just make a text sprite? It would hardly increase the size of the D-mod, and then you could put it at any ?depth? you wanted.
