How do I know how many objects have been selected of type

Hello,

Is there away of knowing how many objects have been included in the sol? For example A overlaps B. How many B exist in SOL?

I Have a character that can break blocks but I don't want him to break more than 1 at a time.

My thought was that if he overlaps more than 1 then I select the one closest to him, otherwise I can simply destroy the one he overlaps. Similar would be if Mario jumped and hit 2 brick blocks and broke them both at the same time, which I don't want. Only one.

Thanks

I was going to suggest a feature for Construct 3 to have a tab in the debugger that displays the current SOL.

+10 for that, that would be usefull!

The Sprite.pickedCount expression gives that info.

Well twidle sticks, it would be that easy now wouldn't it

Thanks for your help, always the champ with the answers.

R0J0hound thanks man!

However, there are situations in which instances of more than one object type are picked and would be handy to have the whole SOL displayed in a table in the debugger.

For example:

Pick Sprite1 by evaluating Sprite1.X>250

Pick Sprite2 by evaluating Sprite2.X>250

If I'm not wrong, when those 2 conditions are inside the same event, C2 picks some instances of Sprite1 AND some instances of sprite2.

immortalx: You can have a local variable "totalpicked" which result comes from the operation: Sprite1.pickedCount + Sprite2.pickedCount

Although perhaps the suggestion could be implemented in C3 ASHLEY.

Kyatric thank you a lot for the tip! I'd never thought of that myself and although it seems simple, it's ultra useful.

Kyatric - sometimes its funny how solutions can be so easily overlooked. Its like I'm looking for a complex answer and don't notice the simple stuff sometimes lol. Thanks.
