Get Players Online

[Norhy]

    function deathMoney ( player ) 
        local reward = math.random(2000, 3000) 
        givePlayerMoney ( source, reward ) 
        outputChatBox ( "Zdochol si! Tvoja odmena za túto mapu je " .. reward .. "$!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, true ) 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), deathMoney ) 

This is my code which will give a player between 2k and 3k$. The problem is that the player gets it everytime. I want to make it possible only when there are atleast 2 players online, but don't know how. Any functions?

getPlayerCount 

[DNL291]

Use the following:

if getPlayerCount() >= 2 then ... end 

Example:

function deathMoney ( player ) 
    if getPlayerCount() >= 2 then 
        local reward = math.random(2000, 3000) 
        givePlayerMoney ( source, reward ) 
        outputChatBox ( "Zdochol si! Tvoja odmena za túto mapu je " .. reward .. "$!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, true ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), deathMoney )

    function deathMoney ( player ) 
        if (getPlayerCount < 2) then 
            outputChatBox ( "Na serveri nie je dostatok (2) hráčov aby si získal odmenu!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, true ) 
        else 
            local reward = math.random(2000, 3000) 
            givePlayerMoney ( source, reward ) 
            outputChatBox ( "Zdochol si! Tvoja odmena za túto mapu je " .. reward .. "$!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, true ) 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), deathMoney ) 

Tried this, doesn't work.

Obviously will not work, because it's wrong.

Use the following:

if getPlayerCount() >= 2 then ... end

This function returns all the alive players by a client side, so you can store them into a Gridlist or something like that, faster.

Retrieving the number of players in-game is possible in the client-side, but I wouldn't recommend it for servers with too many players:

#getElementsByType 'player'

You can get the amount of players online in the client side too by getting the length of the table returned by getElementsByType:

#getElementsByType 'player' 

He doesn't want it client side, because he's using server side event... think...

    function deathMoney ( player ) 
        if (getPlayerCount < 2) then 
            outputChatBox ( "Na serveri nie je dostatok (2) hráčov aby si získal odmenu!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, true ) 
        else 
            local reward = math.random(2000, 3000) 
            givePlayerMoney ( source, reward ) 
            outputChatBox ( "Zdochol si! Tvoja odmena za túto mapu je " .. reward .. "$!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0, true ) 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), deathMoney ) 

Tried this, doesn't work.

You're trying to compare function with number... just add () to call the getPlayerCount. So it will be getPlayerCount()

I was answering to the guy above, in case you didn't saw.
