First-timer.

I need to display how many pieces are left in a deck without allowing specific cards to be drawn. Preferrably by hovering the mouse over the deck or by right-clicking, but anything that works would be appreciated.

My pieces have a front and back image but they ignore the face-up, face-down setting for the deck. Is it the same thing as the Mask setting? (Currently the “back” is defined as a Layer.)

Thank you.
