Hey,

Does Construct3 allow for non-canvas layers to be implemented?

Thanks!

I'm afraid we still don't know what you're talking about.

I'm guessing using DOM elements as layers?

You can do that using the Scripting Feature or addons using the Addon SDK; but the layers will be abstract to the editor, meaning you can't see changes from the editor, only during runtime.

There is an existing addon I saw, that looks super cool (HTML Element). I haven't tried it yet though.

Newt, the forum pro as always. And I take it the answer is still no. Sad days.

That was Construct 2's greatest failure. No one likes having to modify the root HTML page that hosts the c2runtime.

Yep, I can do basic UI elements with CSS etc. without having to modify the root page. That is what I had to do in C2, and apparently nothing's changed.
