Locking layers

How to lock specific layer via events?

How does that make sense? Locking layers is just so you can't select things on them in the IDE.

I think he's hoping for a way to lock a layer from input in runtime.

While this can be done with variable checks or groups, it would be really nice and much simpler to have a lock feature that works in-game too... *wishful thinking*

I have 2 layers: Objects and Pause.

While in a game Objects layer is active and Pause layer is inactive. When I pause the game Objects layer is inactive and Pause layer is active (but still both layers are visible).

I have to do this because my game/app is about placing objects on Objects layer (by mouse-clicking) and pause menu is also controlled by mouse. If I don't lock Objects layer when I try to click button in pause menu I'm also placing an object in Objects layer.

Davioware, I hope this makes sense to You

A simple switch will help here. Create a pv/global "pausing". Set it to 1 if the game is paused and back to zero if the game continues.

Make a condition

+ global('pausing') equal to 0

-> ... game stuff

+ else

-> ... pause stuff

and place all of the game related events as subevents of the first branch and all of the pause related events as subevents of the else-branch.

I thought about that solution. Pity that there's no layer locking action.

Thanks.
