Trying to sequence multiple layers in a composition

I have multiple layers in a comp that I need to sequence. For example.. I need a script to space out each layer x amount of frames in a sequence.

In point of Layer 1 > Frame 0000
In point of Layer 2 > Frame 0002
In point of Layer 3 > Frame 0004
In point of Layer 4 > Frame 0006
.....etc

Something that has an option for how many frames the layers are spread apart from each other... Manually I'm dragging each layer x amount of frames after the next

Hopefully that makes sense, I'm sure theres a script out there for something like this, I just can't find it. Thanks

I've written a script that you can use to stagger the in-point of multiple layers:
Stagger Selected Layers

Or you may be able to use the built-in Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Sequence Layers. Either temporarily set the out point for all layers so they have a 2 frame duration, before running Sequence Layers. Or if the layers are all the same duration, select Sequence Layers, turn on Overlap and set the Duration to 2 frames less than the total layer duration.
