Set Layer Within Object?

Anonymous — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 23:17:36 GMT

Is it possible to have an object check which layer it is on and reset it if necessary?

The global GLOB_LAYER should help you. (GDL Reference Guide 9.0 p.217)

What do you mean with "reset it"? You can't change the layer the object is on within the script.

That's what I was looking for. Being able to script an object to be on the correct layer would sure help with those users who don't pay proper attention to layering. Oh well.

You could probably do something like:

IF glob_layer <> "Right Layer" THEN
TEXT2 0,0, "PAY ATTENTION!"
END
ENDIF

at the beginning of the 2D script.
