Here is a snippet to count how many objects are in your game, and print the total.

Put this in your loop. SPACEKEY performs the count.



I suck.

Why did you choose 25000 is that the limit of objects allowed in DB?

I don't know what the actual highest number is, 25000 is the highest object number I've ever used is all.

I find it useful for targetting which levels in a game are more object heavy than others and so you know which ones to strip down so everything is equal.

Yeah, if you looked at the docs for MAKE OBJECT and the LOAD OBJECTs, you'd see the 65,535 object limit - and that is so sweet!

Nice, but a little slow on the processor if you got a lot of objects or are doing a lot. Why not ask the guys at TGC to add a COUNT OBJECTS() function that returns the number of existing objects?

If you wanted to make it a little more efficient you could add:

- The system finds which numbers are objects and which are blanks, since people sometimes make objects from 1 to 10 then suddenly jump to making objects from like 30 to 40.

- Just save the numbers to a text file and then execute the text file when the prog is done.

Yeah, just add a "print checking" into the for-next part of the snippet and you'll get a printed list of all used object numbers.

I know just suggesting for you to add it for people who may want to know how.

He's right you know. In DBC you were limited to about 65,000 and something. In DBP it's a WAY bigger number.


You are not alone.
