[HELP] getOnlinePlayers

[ViRuZGamiing]

Hi Community,

titles explaines it... but how?

[csiguusz]

local onlinePlayers = {} 
  
for i, v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
    table.insert ( onlinePlayers, v ) 
end 

[ViRuZGamiing]

Can I show all players onCommand?

addEventHandler("online", 
function () 
 --show online players part 
end 
) 

[csiguusz]

Yes, you can. Here is a simple example:

addCommandHandler ( "online", 
    function () 
        for i, v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( v ) ) 
        end 
    end )

Can I set a "," between everyname like this;

Name1, Name2, ...

So you want more names in a line?

local charLimit = 50 -- maximum charachters in a line 
  
addCommandHandler ( "online",  
    function () 
        local line = {} 
        local currLength = 0 
        for i, v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            local name = getPlayerName ( v ) 
            if currLength + #name > charLimit then 
                outputChatBox ( table.concat ( line, ", " ) ) 
                line = {} 
                currLength = 0 
            end 
            table.insert ( line, name ) 
            currLength = currLength + #name 
        end 
    end )

function getOnlinePlayers() 
  return getElementsByType("player") 
end 
  
function listOnlinePlayers(player) 
  local players = getOnlinePlayers() 
  local playerNames = { } 
  for i=1,#players do 
    table.insert(playerNames,getPlayerName(players[i])) 
  end 
  local text = table.concat(playerNames,", ") -- Separate each player with comma 
  outputChatBox(text,getRootElement()) 
end

I've tested

addCommandHandler ( "online", 
    function () 
        for i, v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( v ) ) 
        end 
    end ) 

but i'm currently alone on a LAN Server what if i'm with 2 or more how would it be displayed?

1 Name a line? All behind eachother with just a space in between?

This code prints the stuff each new line.

Then it's good enough;

Thx all!
