Changing Layers

[pkmnfrk]

Is it possible to modify a layer's combos via Zscript? I have an intro cutscene, with text, and to make my life easier, I put the text down on the screen, and then used a layer to cover it up with black tiles. My intent is to make the black tiles disappear one-by-one, revealing the text to the music.

Geez, the easiest way to do that would be with animation or combo cycling.
I'm not sure if scripting would be harder though.

Scripting layers would be soooo much easier.

No, you can only edit layer 0.
A slightly different way you could do this: put the text on a higher layer and make the black tiles overhead combos on layer 0. That way, they'll cover the text and still be accessible in scripts.

Ah, yes, that's what I ended up doing.

I have other animation going on besides the text, sprites moving around, Ganon stealing the Triforce, you know, that kind of stuff. So, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to do it with scripting.

Either way, modifiying layers WOULD be a good feature to have... *hint*
