Detecting Amount of Players.

Dejavuu · Jul 17, 2010

Alright. So I'm at point where I'm very confused. I can't seem to find out how I detect the amount of players there are in a game. The only way I can think of is alot of triggers that probably would not work. What I would do was that I checked if red was there, then moved onto to blue and so on until it stops with players. But the problem is, some players leave for example teal open because they don't like teal.
Do any of you have any good way to solve my issue. Please tell me if you want me to elaborate it more. (I'm a really desperate gnome right now :S)

For each (IntegerA) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
    - Then - Actions
      - Set PlayerCount = (PlayerCount + 1)
    - Else - Actions
- Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Number of Players is Equal to + (String(PlayersCount)))

I'm not that good with variables, sorry, but would you mind explaining it a bit more?

(Sorry if I'm being a pain in the ass)

PlayersCount is an integer variable. The main action is the "For each (IntegerA) from 1 to 10" action, just change 10 to 12.
To get (Player(IntegerA)), when it asks you for a player, scroll to Conversion - Convert Player Index to Player.
The condition is Player - Player Slot Status Comparison.

I can't seem to get the part where I add one to player count to work :S It always set index to 0 :O
(Note; I really do suck at variables that hard ;D)

Well, in the window that gives the "0" value, go up, and scroll to For Loop Integer A.
Don't worry for 'sucking', that is why you ask, I won't think of you as more or less idiot, I'll just think of you as a person who needs help

Alright this is what I end up with in the end.

Set PlayerCount[0] = PlayerCount[(Integer A)]

Is that correct?

Pharaoh_ · Jul 18, 2010

Nop, PlayerCount doesn't have array attached; remove it.
It should be Set PlayerCount = PlayerCount + 1

Player(IntegerA) should be in the condition, not the action.
Here is a test map:

Aahh now it all makes much more sense. Thank you very much Pharaoh_ for your excellent help.

Bloody genius, as always :thumbs_up:
