Multiple Layering in ACT Editor how?

[Promeister]

HI! I was wondering how some .act's have multiple layers but when i tried to customize my own multiple layered .act's, it only saves the first sprite and always gives me warnings that there are multiple layers and it will not show. Can anyone assists me here? THANK YOU!

run this script on act editor - credits goes to tokei

int count = act.GetAllFrames().Count + 1;
int index = 0;

TaskManager.DisplayTaskC("Rendering frames...", "Please wait...", () => index, count, new Action<Func<bool>>(isCancelling => {
try {
foreach (var action in act) {
foreach (var frame in action) {
if (frame.Layers.Count <= 1) {
index++;
continue;
}
if (isCancelling()) return;

var image = frame.Render(act);
var box = ActImaging.Imaging.GenerateFrameBoundingBox(act, frame);
int relativeIndex = -1;

var layer = new Layer(relativeIndex, image);

layer.OffsetX = offsetX;

frame.Layers.Clear();
frame.Layers.Add(layer);

// Removes unused sprites - old way, older versions have a bug

Hi...can you teach me how to use this script to combite multilayer sprites?

I have a problem when trying to run this script as shown below:


Thanks for your help.
Cheers
