I am making a zombie kind of game and I want to be able to detect how many Zombies are in the workspace so I can make it stop spawning them when the amount of zombies is too high. How would I count them?

I'm confused as to why this got downvoted? SuperFryX 130 — 8y

If they are all called "Zombie" then you can count the number of objects in workspace that are called "Zombie"

local zombies=0
for _,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
    if v.Name=="Zombie"then
        zombies=zombies+1
    end
end

Something better you could do is just have a folder in workspace where you store all of the zombies. Then you can just check #zombiefolder:GetChildren()
