Summary

0002745: room_current to get current room ID and room_count to get total number of rooms in the game

Description

I found that using "room" equals to "current room id" but it should be more apparent. I would like to suggest a variable alias room_current for this.

I needed to iterate the rooms in order to change their view size with a "for" loop but there wasn't any way to get the total amount of rooms in the game. I would like a room_count function to return the total number of rooms in the game.

Notes
(0001084) L (reporter) 2012-04-18 12:28	It's very easy to iterate through rooms if you just use a while loop. r = room_first; while(r != room_last) { r = room_next(r); }

(0001775) Chris Harrison (manager) 2012-05-09 11:05	The next iteration of GM should address these concerns. For now you can work with room, room_first, room_last and room_exists() to achieve the required functionality.
