How do I get the count of sprites for an instance variable?

Let's say I have (10) Monster sprites with an instance variable called BreedingPitUID. (5) of the Monster sprites have a BreedingPitUID of 121 and the other (5) have a BreedingPitUID of 139. How do I get the count of all the Monster sprites with a BreedingPitUID of 121? I've tried objectcount and Sprite.PickedCount ... neither is giving me what I need.

— - you could do a For Each loop of Monster sprites while checking if MonsterSprite->BreedingPitUID = 121, then increment a global or local variable to keep track.

Use Pick by comparison, then PickedCount.

blackhornet - that's a cool way of doing it. I learn something new every day. Thanks.

Does the picked count work with families?

Seems like the pick works, except if there are no sprites of the family type created ... the highlighted line never seems to fire ... see the attachment.

Correct. The Pick event will evaluate to False, so you add an Else to it to get the case where there were none picked.

That was it! Thank you blackhornet!
