How to set an entities layers in script

Help & Support

How do I define exactly what render layers an entity should use in script?

Lets say I want to completely change an entities render layers at runtime. How would I do that?

Thanks

Hi @Grimmy,

Here is an example:

const worldLayer = this.app.scene.layers.getLayerByName('World');
const customLayer = this.app.scene.layers.getLayerByName('My Layer');

this.entity.render.layers = [
   worldLayer.id,
   customLayer.id
];
