Take a look at Game Piece Layers element in a Map Window element.

You define a property - say PieceLayer in each piece (prototype) you want to control. This is most easily done with a Marker trait. This then takes different values for different kinds of pieces - e.g.,

  • Prototype: TerrainTile
    • Mark trait:
      • name: PieceLayer
      • value: Terrain
  • Prototype: Unit
    • Mark trait:
      • name: PieceLayer
      • value: Unit

and you then setup the Game Piece Layers with the property PieceLayerand Terrain, Unit, etc. as possible values.

You can add the individual Hotkeys from the controls into a Toolbar Menu to get a single menu with layer controls.

See for example

(shameless self-plugs :slight_smile: )
