Hello, does anyone know the most optimal way of creating another “base layer”
The only way i know is by using the copy camera extension, but that isnt ideal for me because of a few reasons, so if anyone knows a more optimal way please let me know 
Either your question does not make sense or i don’t get it
Its like you ask how you add another playable player object
There is no such thing as base layer its just called base layer
Same as we call layer on which we put HP score and timers stuff UI
Same as you don’t have HP variable you just make some variable and call it HP or Health but you could call it Blood where only name is different but functionality is the same
Same with layers you just create another layer and you can call it whatever you want and use it however you want
Where copy camera extension is there so for example if you have zoom set to 3 on one layer and on that layer you center camera on player
You don’t end up with multiple actions which you need to adjust
But just copy camera settings from one layer to another
So now you only manage source layer
