====== Counting Objects by Name ======

How to get a count of all objects with a particular name. In this case, both the ship and invader carry a bullet. This example counts all the BulletObjects.

===== Assets =====
{{examples:objects:ship.png?50}} {{examples:objects:invader.png?50}} {{examples:objects:spawner-bullet.png?25}}



===== Code =====

<code=c>
	int bulletObjectCount = 0; 
	
	orxSTRUCTURE *objectToCheck = orxStructure_GetFirst(orxSTRUCTURE_ID_OBJECT);
	while (objectToCheck != orxNULL){
		const orxSTRING name = orxObject_GetName(orxOBJECT(objectToCheck));
				
		if (orxString_Compare(name, "BulletObject") == 0){
			bulletObjectCount++;
		}
		
		objectToCheck = orxStructure_GetNext(objectToCheck);
	}
	
	//bulletObjectCount contains the total amount of active BulletObject(s).
</code>


===== Config =====

<code=ini>
[ShipObject]
Graphic = ShipGraphic
Position = (150, 150, -0.1)
ChildList = BulletObject

[InvaderObject]
Graphic = InvaderGraphic
Position = (250, 150, -0.1)
ChildList = BulletObject

[BulletObject]
Graphic = BulletGraphic
Position = (0, 8, -0.1)

[ShipGraphic]
Texture = ship.png
Pivot = center

[InvaderGraphic]
Texture = invader.png
Pivot = center

[BulletGraphic]
Texture = spawner-bullet.png
Pivot = center
