    Hi!

    I want my sprite to get its parent SortingLayerID.
    But I don´t know how to access this value. It doesn´t seem to be accessible.
    Is it possible to be changed?

    Thanks!

    It's a property of the Renderer class; see here.

    Thank´s Joe!
    Actually, I just figured it out!

    this is the code:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. this.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer> ().sortingLayerID = this.gameObject.transform.parent.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer> ().sortingLayerID;
