How to make an exit accessible only when you have all of one item?

[Boneless pizza]

I am VERY new to gamemaker (New as in this is my first game ever using gamemaker) And i want to make a game where you collect all of one object and get to an exit to win. I'm having trouble though. any help?

There are several ways to do this. I would either use a counter that goes up when you collect and object and opens the exit when it hits a certin point, or use instance_exists(obj); to check if any of the collectables exist and if they don't allow the player to exit

I will try the last method and was using the first before.

It exits regardless of the items being collected or not.

Nevermind i ended up making the first method you suggested work after going back to it
