[Solved] Counting the number of human players

[Erkki2]

I'm working on a hero siege, and I'm going to make a different number of creatures to spawn per wave depending on the number of players. How can I check how many human players there are? CheckPlayersByMapControl() also counts players that aren't actually playing, so It can't be used for this.

At map start, do this:

For each integer a from 1 to 12
Loop actions -
If (player[integer a] is controlled by a human) AND (player[integer a] is playing) are true,
then - set NumberOfPlayers = NumberOfPlayers + 1

GUI:

• Set PlayerAmount = (Number of players in (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))))

JASS:

loop
    exitwhen i == 16
    
    if GetPlayerController( Player(i) ) == MAP_CONTROL_USER and GetPlayerSlotState( Player(i)_) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING then
        set playerAmount = playerAmount + 1
    endif
    set i = i + 1
endloop

Probably could've been done in a different way. Those should work though.

Edit: You shouldn't mind the player group in the GUI-form all that much. Yes, it's better to clean player groups, but 1 instance won't change anything.

That works, thanks and +rep to both!
