Problem with Layers

Hi everyone,

I was using the free version until just recently, so my layers were limited to 4. 0 and 1 for background, 2 for objects and 3 for HUD. Now that I've upgraded, I want to another layer for my background.

However, events in C2 only recognize layers based on their number id not layer name. This is a big problem since background layers need to be at the beginning, and to add another background layer would mean my objects and hud layer numbers are all +1.

I am really hoping that manually changing every events that are affected by the layers is not the only solution. Is there is an efficient way for solving this problem?

Thanks!

rekjl you can use number or layer name..

check at layer parameter..

farieh Thanks for your reply.

I can't get it to work. I have a lot of objects that are created during the game, so in the create objects event, I specify the layer it is created by the layer number. I tried to enter the name but it says unknown expression. Perhaps I am doing it wrongly?

If I could specify it by layer name, it would definitely help.

You need quotes on the name in Create - it's a string.
