Counting Player Rank "HELP!"

[.:HyPeX:.]

Guys, im stuck, totally.

The idea of this podium is to get the current players still alive racing with getAlivePlayers. Yeah it works.

Now the problem is: getAlivePlayers will include also joined and waiting players. So, if a player joins while the race, he's counted as an alive player, and the rank 1 is never reached.

So, how can i fix this? i appreaciate any help

script:

  
  
function AutomaticSetPlayer() 
if get("AutomaticPodium") == "true" then 
local players = getAlivePlayers() 
local playerRank = #players 
if playerRank == 2 then 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Finished third!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent("PlayerPosWasted", getRootElement(), source, "3") 
elseif playerRank == 1 then 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Finished second!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent("PlayerPosWasted", getRootElement(), source, "2") 
elseif playerRank == 0 then 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Finished First!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent("PlayerPosWasted", getRootElement(), source, "1") 
else 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Died!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), AutomaticSetPlayer) 

Thanks in advance, HyPeX

Try adding a new event or function for example :

is:PlayerLoggedIn = 1 then

Write your own getAlivePlayers function, that checks for the "state" data and only includes players that got the state "alive".

Hmm i thought about creating a table on map start.. and only use that table..but then the problem is that i dont have how to calculate how many of them are dead..

EDIT: Should this work?

  
DeadTable = {} 
function AutomaticSetPlayer() 
DeadTable[source] = source 
if get("AutomaticPodium") == "true" then 
local TotalPlayers = #PlayingTable 
local DeadPlayers = #DeadTable 
local playerRank = TotalPlayers - DeadPlayers 
if playerRank == 2 then 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Finished third!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent("PlayerPosWasted", getRootElement(), source, "3") 
elseif playerRank == 1 then 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Finished second!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent("PlayerPosWasted", getRootElement(), source, "2") 
elseif playerRank == 0 then 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Finished First!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
triggerClientEvent("PlayerPosWasted", getRootElement(), source, "1") 
else 
outputChatBox("#00cc55Player "..getPlayerNametagText(source).." Died!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), AutomaticSetPlayer) 
  
function SetPlayerTable() 
PlayingTable = nil 
PlayingTable = {} 
for v,i in ipairs(getElementsByType("players")) do 
PlayingTable[v] = v 
DeadTable[v] = nil 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onMapStarting", getRootElement(), SetPlayerTable)

function getAlivePlayers() 
  
local playerTable = {} 
  
for i, p in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
  
    if getElementData(p, "state") == "alive" then 
        table.insert(playerTable, p) 
    end 
     
end 
  
return playerTable 
  
end

function getAlivePlayers() 
  
local playerTable = {} 
  
for i, p in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
  
    if getElementData(p, "state") == "alive" then 
        table.insert(playerTable, p) 
    end 
     
end 
  
return playerTable 
  
end 
  

Im gonna test it, thanks!
