Reserved Slot

[.:HyPeX:.]

Just came out with the idea, we got a 32 Slot server on our clan, is there a function to get player count? (i know i could count them with like a joinquit and a table or local) but i'm asking if there is a function to get current player count in the server. This is to let only 31 players join and reserve a slot for the members (via getPlayerName on join).

Thanks

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetPlayerCount - or you could use getElementsByType, but getPlayerCount would be easiler to use.

Found this problem..

i want to find the lastest player who joined who hasnt got the LxG in its name(to avoid kicking LxG players)

How could i do the opposite into a table? like this?

  
local LastLogued = table.gmatch(Players, ~LxG)

I've been working alot since this.. this is my end script.. (not sure if it will work the actual search of the name i asked on the previous post.. but if it does)

you need to put messages in a string. Otherwise, the server will be looking for an invalid variable.

how?

this should be the totally fixed end (without saying that)

Okay just totally missed the points, turn out i cant use the string to read a table, how can i use the same function string.match does on a table?

Thanks
