Max expression need simplest sample

Dear all

I am new in Construc2 and have very simple and dump question:

How do I using Max expression ....???

Problem is: I have many object and each object have it own IDD. How do I get object have highest IDD to pick and destroy..I don't want to using for - loop to save game performance...

Thank in advance

It's much simpler if you use a loop to find the instance with the highest value like in this post:

If you want to use the max() expression to do the same thing you will still need a loop.

global number highest_idd

every tick
   set highest_idd to 0

for each sprite
   set highest_idd to max(highest_idd, sprite.idd)

sprite: idd equal to highest_idd
   destroy sprite

Thank to much for your reply. Actually, my game until now have more than 150 events and I really confuse about it's performance...??

Number of objects around 50 so and there are no way to avoid loop..??..:(

I got another question...What is faster...??? Using native system expression/event/condition or try to put some of them in my own plugin...??.

I want to put all of "family" object into MAX function and get max IDD like JavaScript..:D

Thank a lot for your help
