GetStatSize() (ZScript)

Simple. A static function that returns the size of a specified stat. If left empty or is some invalid number, defaults to maximum stat + 1 which means it gets the size combined of all stats.

What do you mean by "size of a stat"?

How many active thinkers are in a particular stat.
Right now you can only do a while loop until it's all the way over which strikes me as inefficient when just trying to establish how many thinkers are in there -- especially if it's on ZScript's side. Probably much better to have it done on the source if anything, especially if this is done often.

Let's see if I fucked anything up, or if Graf doesn't want it in. (Or both)

You shouldn't do that. If you have to count thinkers in a slot frequently something isn't right. Even natively the engine cannot do anything less than stepping through the entire list and incrementing a counter. This is a very costly operation because it involves several cache misses on the CPU.
