Really awesome question. I don't have an answer but I'm interested to find out!!

Upon thinking about it, this probably is not the best way to do this. BUT, it's an idea.

I'd make two actors. One that's invisible, directly on top of the other red block actor. If actor chooses the BLUE route then the Red Block actor: Change Attribute Alpha to 1. (which would be above the actor in the layering, go to scene tab in the scene viewer, then click on layers, then click on the arrow of Background and place player actor between the two 'red block' actors).

This will make the actor appear to go behind the block.

If they choose the green path then you wouldn't need rules to happen because it would look like the actor goes in front of it...

See if that works. Just an idea though (probably not the best way to do this...but only thing I can think of).
