2 options - 1 = gui, 2 = vjass.

gui:

• Count Players
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (((Picked player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)
          • Then - Actions
            • Set AmountOfPlayers = (AmountOfPlayers + 1)
          • Else - Actions

vjass:

function PlayerCount takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer AmountOfPlayers = 0
    local integer i = 0
    
    loop
    
    if GetPlayerSlotState(ConvertedPlayer((i))) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING and ConvertedPlayer((i)) == MAP_CONTROL_USER then
        
        set AmountOfPlayers = AmountOfPlayers + 1
        
    endif
    
    set i = i + 1
    exitwhen i >= 11
    endloop
endfunction

edit:

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set PlayerCount = ((PlayerCount)+1)

Hope it helps

^dardas:
Your function isn't really vJass; it's just vanilla Jass.
Also, you should be using Player(i) instead of ConvertedPlayer(i) and it should be exitwhen i > 11 or else Player 12 will be skipped.

How about the submenu? Go into the integer submenu you should scroll down on the functions list until you find something that says:

Game - Number of players

Not sure if this leaks though, havent tried it I just recently discovered it.
