Grouping CanvasLayers

zerohootsoliver

Is there any kind of solution for which CanvasLayer numbers are automatically handled through groups of layers. For example, if I wanted a fade overlay on top of everything. To achieve this right now I would set its layer number to like 10 and not have other CanvasLayers exceed this number. This is a hacky way to do it but is there not a more elegant solution (like having a CanvasLayer that holds CanvasLayers). The only thing I can think of is a viewport that holds a separate group of CanvasLayers maybe?

Well the fade overlay will always be on top, so there is no issue just setting it to like 500 if you want. Also, you can script the layer index, for example, if you have a container that has CanvasLayers as children, you can iterate through all the children and set their index 1 by 1.

But honestly, if you have more than a couple CanvasLayers in your game, you're probably doing something wrong. There is really no need for more than 2 or 3, so if you have a bunch there is a problem in your design. And if there are only 3, just set the indices manually as that is the simplest thing.
