How do I move a ProgressBar to another layer via Event Sheet

How do I move a ProgressBar/Button or other components which doesn't have this "Move to Layer" option to another layer via Event Sheet?

I could easily do it then I'm on a scene editing, but how can I do it via an Event?

This "Layer" property is in a common property group but i can't find the way operate it via scripting...

Could anybody help me with this?

Hi,

I do not fully understand but you can create your HUD in a separate layout with layer HUD (make sure no other layer has this name) and make that layer a GLOBAL layer. This way it will be included in all layouts and so you don't need to create it in every layout.

Thanks, this info is also useful for me, but this is not exactly that I was asking for.

I mean, that I can't find the way to change the Initial Layer of an object such as ProgressBar via an Event Sheet.

For example for a sprite object, we could do it via Action: OurSprite : Move to layer ; new layer

But for ProgressBar there is no such an option like for Sprite.

If for example i want to hide a progressBar by moving it for a specific layer together with the sprite it is attached to, what should I do in that case?

Hi,

I usually create my own progress bars simply with any rectangle and regulating width or height, so i never had that problem. Maybe someone else can comment for that.

But if you want to hide it, you can always put another sprite on top of it i guess or simply move it to X = -200 or something (out of the screen) and then move it back into the screen when you need.

It is a Form Element, it its not 'on a layer somewhere in the canvas'. It is a 'form on top of the canvas'.

You want it into the canvas, then you got to make one out of sprites.

Use a Tiled Background for the bar, easier.

Plz check the manual for it.

Thank you for your replies. You helped me to settle down with this.
