    Use the bitwise logic operators (single | and &) in this case, not the Boolean operators (double || and &&). The bitwise operators operate on each single digit in the binary number. They are often used with values that are treated as masks or flags.

    See https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.3/Documentation/Manual/layermask-add.html for an example of how to add an additional layer to a layer mask.
