Terrain Layer Spawner Component
The Terrain Layer Spawner component spawns a terrain layer within given bounds, and enables the ordering of multiple layers.
Usage
The priority is controlled by first assigning a layer, either Foregound(Highest priority) or Background, and then by using the Priority setting, with a higher number being a higher priority. You can configure the dimensions of the layer by modifying the Axis Aligned Box Shape component on the same entity.
