GetMapBlockQuantity

NumberOfBlocks = GetMapBlockQuantity(MapIndex)

Parameters:     MapIndex = The index of the map you wish to query

Returns:     NumberOfBlocks = The number of blocks this map has defined

The GetMapBlockQuantity function returns the number of blocks this map contains. FACTS:       * Depending upon the block format, Maps are either limited to 1023 blocks (Video formatted blocks) or 4096 for FX/AFX formatted blocks       * GetMapBlockQuantity and GetMapBlocks() perform the same function. GetMapBlockQuantity exists to uphold the syntax style that used in other command sets. Ie. GetMapQuantity, GetSpriteQuantity', GetImageQuantity etc etc Mini Tutorial:       The example creates a MAP and block set, then displays the related information about the created block set.       ; Create a map with provision for 5 levels   MyMap=NewMap(5)    ; Create some blank blocks for this map   CreateMapGFX MyMap,30,20,10,RGB(0,0,255)    ; Display the info about this maps created block set   Print "Number OF Blocks:"+Str$(GetMapBlockQuantity(mymap))   Print "Block Status:"     +Str$(GetMapBlockStatus(MyMap))   Print "Block Width:"     +Str$(GetMapBlockWidth(MyMap))   Print "Block Height:"     +Str$(GetMapBlockHeight(MyMap))   Print "Block Mask Colour:"     +Str$(GetMapMaskColour(MyMap))    ; Display the screen and wait for a key to be pressed   Sync   WaitKey    This example would output.      Number OF Blocks:10   Block Status:1   Block Width:30   Block Height:20   Block Mask Colour:255
