Try using a print statement that shows it. Or just manually count them.

The reason i need this is because there could me no models/ a lot of models at any time. (it has the placed parts inside it)

Idk then, Use one of those multi object print statments and put a wait(30) do loop on it. That will print it every 30 seconds and update the number of models.

You can get the number of descendants or children of an instance using this

#GSOseat:GetChildren() --> returns the number of children inside a model

local childs = workspace.GSOseat:GetChildren()
 for i = 1, #children do
 local child = children[i]
 print(child.Name .. " is child number " .. i)
 end

But how would i filter out all the objects that are not models using this?

function getmodels()
    local number = 0
    for i, v in pairs(GSOseat:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("Model") then
            number = number + 1
        end
    end
    return number -- > count of all objects parented to "GSOseat" which are models
end

#GSOseat:GetChildren() is a much simpler way of doing that. This is solved already, but just saying.

That would return everything, including non-models. OP needs only the models.
