Hey everyone,

Is there a way to count how many instances of an object meet a certain condition?

For example, let's say I have 5 instances of the same object, but each with different animation frames. How could I check the count to see how many are currently playing an exact frame? Is it possible?

Thanks!

The PickedCount expression is the way to go I think

The number of instances meeting the event's conditions. For example, if the event has the condition "Mouse is over Sprite", Sprite.PickedCount will return the number of Sprite instances that the mouse is over.

I think that might be it, alright. Thanks!
