It is layer, for some reason all the layers aren’t equipped with all the behaviors. For example, only Game World has the InView trigger.

Because it wouldn’t make sense.

Like, who uses velocity in backround objects?

The main reason is that only the Game layer has a physics engine. This means that most physics related behaviors wouldn’t work (Impulse, Motor, Velocity, Emit, etc, etc).

There are some other behaviors missing for similar reasons (only the the game layer has a camera for example)

And there are some that are only in the game layer, but could probably be made to work in other layers as well.

Ok, thank you for clarifying. I knew that there was some sort of reasonable reason, but I just didn’t know what it was.

Does this imply that you will add these after whatever currently takes priority?

I think he means that we could make our own version probably.

How, what do you mean?

Like if you wanted to make emit work, you could use the spawn tool.
