instance_count
Returns: Real
With this read only variable you can get a count of all
active instances that are in the room. This will include the
instance running the code, but does not include those
instances that have been deactivated using the instance_deactivate
functions. Note that this function will only give you the number of
instances at the start of the step, so any changes to the
instances in the room made after the step has started will not be
taken into consideration.
Example:
if (instance_count < 100)
{
var dif = 100 - instance_count;
while (--dif > 0)
{
instance_create(random(room_width),
random(room_height), obj_Star);
}
}
The above code will create multiple instances of the object "obj_Star" until the total instance count reaches 100.
