Layer reporter.
The total layers reporter! Because
It would be used to find how many layers are in a project.
Note: This topic has been edited due to the first part being a dupe, and it had 2 parts. So it may look weird.
so it would be nice to have that, it would look like this: I would assume clones could increase the amount of layers, so perhaps a “total layers” reporter would be helpful as well.

Sire, there appears to be a duplicate! We must traverse there at once!

(I can see the potential. There are workarounds, but everything has a workaround. It could certainly help with dynamically generating content, that is an RPG tile like system would greatly benefit by this.)

(It also wouldn't take much time to implement, as there's already likely an internal count of it. So they could just read from this.)

Jester, there is no simple workaround. Mrow meow mrow.

(There isn't really a viable and accurate workaround, without using far too many blocks for something that, as you stated, should have an internal state regardless. Since sprites and clone's code are run in layer-order, i am left to believe that this must be true, and shouldn't bet too difficult to add. The workaround required for this would be quite complex, and i could make a project showing the code for it, but it would be required in every clone sprite and etc, to accurately store the layers.)

I am the king, and I declare this topic of genius NOT A DUPE! Due to only half of this oh so GENIUS topic being a dupe of topics!Jester, there is no simple workaround. Mrow meow mrow.
