Get info about a Multilocation using getProperty?

Hello

I have several Multilocations containing floor spots in a museum. I want to get the current number of people in the multilocation and also the maximum number of spots (in this case, the number of sublocations).

I have tried various combinations of "multiLocation.getProperty(...) "and "stats.content.value", and they all give me a value of 0, even when that is not true. I tried "stats.totalContent.value" that was mentioned in another question, but that gives me a syntax error. I don't even see anything in the treenode of a multilocation that has this data.

How do I get these values?

Thanks

(version 25.2)

"totalContent" is not implemented as a property of 'object.stats', but such a node exists for multilocation objects to track the total input, output and content. You can access them as a Tracked Variable.

Object ml = ...; TrackedVariable totalContent = stats(ml).subnodes["contentTotal"]; int content = totalContent.value;

The number of sublocations is the number of drawsurrogate objects.

Object ml = ...; int numSubLocations = ml.attrs.drawsurrogate.subnodes.length;
