How do I exclude a sprite from a layer effect?

This is pretty self explainitory. I want a sprite to not be affected by the effect of it's layer.

The only way to do this is to move it to another layer.

The only way to do this is to move it to another layer.

The only reason why I am not just doing that is because I want to put an object on the very bottom layer, but if I make a new layer on the bottom it pushes all of the layer numbers up one. that's an issue because I use the current layer numbers to spawn objects in event sheets, so they will be on the wrong layer if I dont manually change all of them

Is there any other workaround to this (such as manually changing the layer numbers), or do I have to manually change all of the numbers in the event sheets?

That's why you should always name your layers properly and use layer names (not numbers) in all events.

Oh, I didn't know I can just use the names. Well that should make things easier in the future.
