Adding a link to the upper layer in AnimLayer? #2047

Closed Ali-RS closed 1 year ago

Ali-RS commented 1 year ago

Hello,

Is it a good idea to add a link to the upper layer in the AnimLayer class? So by accessing an AnimLayer, we can walk through all its above layers.

Linking should be done automatically by AnimComposer whenever a new layer is added or an existing layer is removed.

Required methods:

AnimLayer.setNextLayer()/getNextLayer()

What is the use case?

An example use case would be in this PR https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine/pull/2043 where we need to find all the above layers from a specific layer.

something like

while((layer = layer.getNextLayer() != null) {
   // do stuff
}

what do you think?
