The current number of references that the object has.
Remarks
When an object is created, its reference counter equals 1. When a new reference is created, its value increases. As a reference goes out of scope, its value decreases.
Examples
The following example prints the number of references for objA to the output window.
static void Object_UsageCount(Args _args)
{
Object objA = new Object();
Object objB;
print objA.usageCount(); // Prints 1.
objB = objA; // objB is a reference to objA.
print objA.usageCount(); // prints 2
pause;
