Looping through selected layers

[lehtiniemi]

I tried to look for a way to access selected layers, all I found was CountSelectedLayers(GroupLayer *group). I tried passing it an argument, like so:

Code: Select all

local layerList
moho.document:CountSelectedLayers(layerList)

However, layerList won't contain selected layers after this call. How do I use it or is there some other way?

CountSelectedLayers does not populate the empty variable. You need to assign it a variable:

local selLayerCount = moho.document:CountSelectedLayers(moho.document)

You can also specify a particular group layer instead of the whole document.
To count through them:

for i=0, moho.document:CountSelectedLayers(moho.document)-1 do

Ah, thanks! Hmm but how do I access the selected layers? CountSelectedLayers doesn't tell me which layers are selected.
