Map Editor: Layers

Using layers
Map tiles can overlap.
Use this interface to select which layer to draw tiles on.
You can also press a number on the keyboard to select layers quickly.
The ~ key selects layer 0.
  To increase the number of layers, click the + button. To reduce the number of layers, hold SHIFT and click the - button.
Be careful when removing layers. It'll delete all tiles on that layer.

Most games place the player in the map between layer 1 and 2. So tiles on layer 2 and above will overlap the player.

You're not likely to need more than 3 layers, but it is possible to have up to 7.
(It's a completely arbitrary limit)
