Counting active objects in the room

[Oliver Marshall]

Hi all

I want to update my debug file script to include information about the objects on screen and in the room.

Is there a way to easily count the number of active objects both in the view, and in the room?

For a room-wide count, see instance_count.

For a view-only count, see with block recipe cards (Count the number of instances satisfying a condition; assuming that you use GMS 1.4, your condition is point_in_rectangle(x, y, view_xview[0], view_yview[0], view_xview[0]+view_wview[0], view_yview[0]+view_hview[0])).
