if object exist (i)=1 then inc objects_loaded

To save your processing time, you can change 30000000000000 to 65535. Otherwise, that's some clever code

Otherwise, every time you add an object in the program make it add one to a variable. Say maxobj. Then at the end do this:
for i=1 to maxobj
if object exist (i)=1 then inc objects_loaded
next i

but basically no one uses all the objects in an ascending order, heck my sky is usually number 10000 basically so they never clash with the enemys or landscape, and that would mean you have to call a function or add in a line every time you load a model

@bear i wasnt sure of the number so i put something high :-P

I don't see how it's not possible to know how many objects you have loaded.
You have to load them programmatically, so surely you just track them as you load them.

I prefer to keep track of each objects number using a variable that increases when a new object is loaded. I don´t use fixed numbers when loading and removing objects since that means if i have loaded up say 200 objects, i have to keep track of each ones number.
I also have a second variable that increases and decreases when objects are created and removed.

Check the "Source" Button for a small example on what i´m talking about.

I usually use functions for this kind of stuff but to just make things simple and easier to understand i wrote that code.
