Hallo,

I want to hide/show different layers by code. Did anyone do this before? Or do the Crytek staff can help me with this, because I don't find anything in the documentation about this.

thanks
Sebastian

I3DEngine.h
Code:
  // Show/Hide objects by layer (useful for streaming and performance)
  virtual void ActivateObjectsLayer(uint16 nLayerId, bool bActivate, bool bPhys, const char * pLayerName) = 0;


Havnt tryed it, but perhaps it helps.


Best regards,

Blue

Hi,

thanks for your answer.
I tryed it but it didn't worked yet. You have to provide a 'layerId' and a 'LayerName'. But I don't know how to get the LayerId.. I just tried with 0, but nothing.
Also I found a function in EntitySystem
Code:
   // Enable entity layer
   virtual void EnableLayer(const char* layer, bool isEnable, bool isSerialized = true) = 0;

But it doesn't work.

Maybe someone get this working ?

Thanks
Sebastian

The "layer" is the layer's name you set in Sandbox. Like, gEnv->pEntitySystem->EnableLayer("Mission_01_AI", true, true); etc.

Did it work for you ?

It works if you put a nonconnected Engine:LayerSwitch node with that layer in editor.
