i came acorss this script that creates extendscript codes from selected layer effects and settings.

so which ever effects you applied to the layer and settings it will generate you code ready to be pasted in new extendscript tab and run it.

 

is there anything for layers and shape layers to code ?

 

anyways look at this just run it in your extendscript and see.

there must be something for it that generates code from selected layer.

For shape layers, you can save the content as an animation preset. Here is a tutorial series which uses such kinds of presets to create various animated shape layers quickly using Automation Blocks:

I'm not clear what you are asking. All I see is a ton of hard-coded values and functions inside the script. Not some fancy magic code that converts a property to editable code. So what is the real question here?
