Title: Layer questions
Post by: SmartBoy16 on 2010-01-09, 12:51:54 AM

Is there a way to hide or show a layer in runtime?  Same question for reordering layers?

hide and show is possible, bluemonk (or durnurd?) once wrote a script for me. i don't have it here, though.

You could edit LayerBase.cs to add a property like

Code: [Select]

public bool isVisible = true;

Then edit the Draw function ("public void Draw()") so that it doesn't do anything if the layer is set to be be invisible:

Code: [Select]

if (!isVisible) return;

Whenever you want to show or hide the layer, just set its isVisible property.
