How do I count the amount of something in Workspace?

Asked Oct 27, 2015238 views1 answers

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?

✓ Accepted answer

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()
