	x,y = guiGetScreenSize()
	addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
    dxDrawText(string.format("obj: %d", #getElementsByType("object")), x * 0.4470, y * 0.1514, x * 0.5071, y * 0.1800, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end)

With the way you are using any object's in the server will be counted if you want to count the object's in the resource.

You have to use resourceRoot . Something like this :

#getElementsByType ( 'object',resourceRoot );

Nah, u didnt understood me. I'm counting objects on Map Editor, it isn't same resource as mine. I'd created another resource to count objects from Map Editor.

Your code works for me but when deleting an object in editor it just places in a temporary dimension so that the undo and redo functions are simple.

You will need to ckeck if the object is in the same dimension as you.

x,y = guiGetScreenSize()
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
    local obj,count = getElementsByType("object"), 0
    for i=1,#obj do
        count = true and inMyDim(obj[i]) and count+1 or count
    end
    dxDrawText("obj: ".. count, x * 0.4470, y * 0.1514, x * 0.5071, y * 0.1800, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end)

function inMyDim( elem )
    if getElementDimension( elem ) == getElementDimension( localPlayer ) then
        return true
    end
end
