Not that I can see from the existing commands.
The HUD_FX_AutoRemove creates a type field which holds a time-delay until the remove is carried out.
It's probably possible to change the SpriteCandy source to add similar fields for HUD/Layer but the easiest thing
would be to simulate your function by setting a time delay which is reduced until 0 and then issues HUD_RemoveLayer or HUD_Remove.

From what I can see, this is already possible. Here is how my autoremove code looks like in the effects update function:
Case FX_AUTOREMOVE
; -----------------------------
Select typ
Case 1 HUD_RemoveObject FX\ObjID
Case 2 HUD_RemoveLayer FX\ObjID
Case 3 HUD_Remove FX\ObjID
End Select
Delete FX
I am using v.1.0.9 (beta), so if you're not, then you should update.

Hi Zac,
I don't think that code ever gets called.
When you use HUD_FX_AutoRemove it only checks the OBJ type whether OBJID exists. For layers/HUDs this check fails and you get the 'Object does not exist' message.
SC_UpdateEffects checks OBJ, Layer and HUD for the OBJID and sets typ depending on the result.
Could be a bug or an enhancement that was never coded.
<edit> If you want to change the SpriteCandy code you can add...
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
; PUBLIC FUNCTION: AUTOREMOVE FX (OBJECTS)
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function HUD_FX_AutoRemove% (ObjectID%, timedelay%)
; TGCHANGE
Local HUDObj.SC_HUD = Object.SC_HUD (ObjectID)
Local Layer.SC_Layer = Object.SC_Layer (ObjectID)
Local Obj.SC_Object = Object.SC_Object(ObjectID)
; If Obj = Null Then RuntimeError SC_BreakText("HUD_FX_AutoRemove||The specified object does not exist.",50)
If HUDObj = Null And Layer = Null And Obj = Null Then RuntimeError SC_BreakText("HUD_FX_AutoRemove||The specified object does not exist.",50)
Local FX.SC_FX
; CLEAR PREVIOUS EFFECT OF THIS TYPE
HUD_ClearEffects ObjectID, "AUTOREMOVE"
; CREATE NEW FX ITEM
FX.SC_FX = New SC_FX
FX\ObjID = ObjectID
FX\name$ = "AUTOREMOVE"
FX\typ = FX_AUTOREMOVE
FX\start_time = MilliSecs() + timedelay
Return Handle(FX)
End Function
but make sure you back-up SpriteCandy.bb first.
This is an unofficial change and it's possible Mike didn't implement it for a good reason.

Yes I see what you mean, I have never used autoremove on a hud or layer before, so I only checked the update code. I can't see why you couldn't change the autoremove function like you show, but I can't really see that many times where you would want to have the hud or layer autoremoved. Anyways, it is possible at least.

I'm not sure either.
The HUD_RemoveLayers is useful for cleanup
Ed-2D, was this out of curiosity or do you have something planned for Layer autoremove?
