[docimg=action_set_layers_result_2.png]action_set_layers_result_2.png[/docimg] Note how layers can not only add new actions on top of underyling layers, they can also override previous bindings -- in this case, the vehicle-specific "brake" and "gas" actions override the basic layer's "jump" and "interaction" actions, and "steer" overrides the "move" action bound to the trackpad and joystick on the base layer, and in turn is overriden by the "aim" action from the scoped-in action set layer. …
