number of objects with a certain condition

[maVado]

Is there an easy way to just show the number of objects of the same object that have an "alt value a" = 1 ?

I want the mouse cursor(APO or Active, both will work) to check if it overlaps only one Active (actually its an APO) and not two or more.

Any Idea on how I can achieve that?

The simplest way I think is doing this:

* Always
- set counter to 0

* Active is overlapping mousepointer (an active object)
- add 1 to counter

* if counter > 1

//mouse is overlapping more than one object


To do what you asked in your first sentence:

* Always
- set counter to 0

* Alterable object of Active = 1
- add 1 to counter

* Counter2: set current value to counter

//Counter2 to shows the number of actives with alterable A = 1

Thanks Popcorn, but both ways do not work

I uploaded an example to my webspace

Both counters stay at 1

You can do it with the "Select Object Extension"

* Mouse pointer is over ("Active Picture")
- Set counter to numSelectedByFixedV( "Select Object Extension", Fixed( "Active Picture" ))

Thanks Werbad, that worked!
