Layer Numbering Movment

I had to move some layers around in a project to make room for another layer underneath and found that this messed up most of my code which referenced layers.

The code referenced my HUD on layer 3 but I had to move the HUD to layer 4, but all the code was still referencing level 3.

I've noticed how if you change the name of a variable it will automatically change the name everywhere else (which is fantastic) and I was thinking it would be a really useful to make it track which layer it is referencing in the same way

You an use the. And of the layer instead of the number so then It looks for the layer name fixing the issue.

Just use the layer name instead of the number, e.g. "HUD" instead of the number 4, then it will always use the same layer regardless of where it is.

Ah cool, Thankyou for that. That's even more flexible than I thought then.
