[Closed] LayerManager, remove layers within a loop

Jul 26, 2017 4:24 pm

Hi,

So I get a weird error when executing this:


for L=1 to LayerManager.count-1 do (
   if NOT ((LayerManager.getLayer L).name == "fbx") do (
      n = (LayerManager.getLayer L).name
      --print n
       LayerManager.deleteLayerByName n
   )
)


-- Unknown property: "name" in undefined

And I need to remove all layers that fbx created on import

When itterating over an array which shrinks it’s better to do it in reverse.


for L=  (LayerManager.count-1) to 0 by - 1 do (
   if NOT ((LayerManager.getLayer L).name == "fbx") do (
      n = (LayerManager.getLayer L).name
      --print n
       LayerManager.deleteLayerByName n
   )
)
