hello, i’ve got a box collider2D on my player with a trigger and what im trying to achieve when the trigger on my player goes into another box collider2D trigger it change the sorting layer of the area the player is inside. ive looked for a while to find whats the correct code to change sorting layer but its just mixed anwsers. ill post my current script.
Edit: Renderer.sortingLayerName = “sortinglayername”; could be the code but its saying it needs an object reference now, the brackets are in the right place its just formated to the left when i posted

Need to get the gameobjects own renderer,

GetComponent<Renderer>().sortingLayerName = "PlayerOverlay";

Thanks for the code tag help, but im still having errors with my code, (24,13) and (29,13) both saying an object reference is required to access non-static member “UnityEngine.Renderer.sortingLayerName”
