thanks from previous answers to my openfile question, i can now make much better and clearer code thanks to you.

Next question is about SetLayerName()

Normally you use it:

Code: Select all

Setlayername(id, "name")

However, ssince i would like to use it on runtime giving names to all enemy layers, amount that changes during the game, it gives me extra trouble keeping up with he number of layers existing so is there way to do something like this:

Code: Select all

Createanim(nextone, otherspecs)
Displayanimframe(the one just created, otherspecs)
Setlayername(the one just created, "name")

Or is there a command to for example check how ,many layers thwre are on screen currently?
