    Hey, all.

    I was trying to use
    Code (CSharp):
    1. gameObject.layer = LayerMask.NameToLayer("whatever Layer");
    , but it gave me the error:

    A game object can only be in one layer. The layer needs to be in the range [0...31]

    How do I switch the layer of a single prefab clone?

    Hi, what is the result of the call "LayerMask.NameToLayer("whatever Layer")" ?
    That error indicates the layer wasn't found.

    Oh my gosh. I set the layer name as a tag. I know I did something really dumb here. Sorry.
