I want to simply add some text objects to “comment” on the rules in my rule map. It seems any extra object layers will cause errors when executing the rule. Is there a workaround for this?

Yeah, it would complain because it doesn’t know the purpose of the layer. To indicate this layer should be ignored, you can disable it by naming it “//Object Layer 1” instead (a.k.a. commenting it out).

I just realized this way of disabling a layer wasn’t documented yet…
