Count Players with elementData

[FuriouZ]

Hey!

My question is how i can count players like countPlayersInTeam , but i want count all players who have same data

Hard to explain this

for example

How i can count all players who's data is this ?

  
setElementData(source, "Arena", "Freeroam") 
  

[cheez3d]

  
local pCount = 0 
for _,player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if getElementData(player,"Arena") == "Freeroam" then 
        pCount = pCount+1 
    end 
end 
  

Just a basic example.

[Wei]

function countInTeam() 
    count = 0 
    for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if (getElementData(player, "Arena") == "Freeroam") then 
            count = count + 1 
        end 
    end 
    return count 
end

Thanks both of you !

edit:

But how i can count in another too widhout creating new function ?

tried something, but it is worng

function countPlayers() 
    countFreeroamPlayers = 0 
    countStuntagePlayers = 0 
    for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if (getElementData(player, "Arena") == "Freeroam") then 
            countFreeroamPlayers = countFreeroamPlayers + 1 
        elseif (getElementData(player, "Arena") == "Stuntage") then 
            countStuntagePlayers = countStuntagePlayers + 1 
        end 
    end 
    return countFreeroamPlayers, countStuntagePlayers 
end

try

function ContForData(data,value) 
local n = 0 
for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) 
do 
if getElementData(v,data) == value then 
n=n+1 
end 
end 
return n 
end

try

function ContForData(data,value) 
local n = 0 
for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) 
do 
if getElementData(v,data) == value then 
n=n+1 
end 
end 
return n 
end 

What ? first codes working, but i want add more datas there

[manawydan]

you can use my function again

[manawydan]

or make one table for data's and use for loop again

[cheez3d]

  
contPlayersInArena(arenaName) 
local pCount = 0 
for _,player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if getElementData(player,"Arena") == arenaName then 
        pCount = pCount+1 
    end 
    return pCount 
end 
local freeroamCount = countPlayersInArena("Freeroam") 
outputChatBox(tostring(freeroamCount),root) 
  

[FuriouZ]

  
contPlayersInArena(arenaName) 
local pCount = 0 
for _,player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if getElementData(player,"Arena") == arenaName then 
        pCount = pCount+1 
    end 
    return pCount 
end 
local freeroamCount = countPlayersInArena("Freeroam") 
outputChatBox(tostring(freeroamCount),root) 
  

countPlayersInArena a nil value

guiSetText(label_freeroamPlayers, "Online: "..countPlayersInArena("Freeroam")) 
--Another way still 
guiSetText(label_freeroamPlayers, "Online: "..freeroamCount)

Can you post the rest of the code and the errors that you receive?

[FuriouZ]

setTimer( 
    function() 
        guiSetText(label_totalPlayers, #getElementsByType("player").." players online") 
        guiSetText(label_freeroamPlayers, "Online: "..countPlayersInArena("Freeroam")) 
        guiSetText(label_currentArena, ""..getElementData(localPlayer, "Arena"))     
        guiSetText(label_playerName, getPlayerName(localPlayer))             
        guiSetText(label_playerMoney, convertNumber(getPlayerMoney (localPlayer)).." $")             
    end 
    , 100, 0 
) 
-- 
-- 
-- 
contPlayersInArena(arenaName) 
local playerCount = 0 
for _,player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if getElementData(player,"Arena") == arenaName then 
        playerCount = playerCount+1 
    end 
    return playerCount 
end 
local freeroamCount = countPlayersInArena("Freeroam") 
outputChatBox(tostring(freeroamCount),root) 
  
  

 

tryed many ways but still says nil value freeroamCount or countPlayersInArena

guiSetText(label_freeroamPlayers, "Online: "..countPlayersInArena("Freeroam")) 
--Another way still 
guiSetText(label_freeroamPlayers, "Online: "..freeroamCount) 
  

[cheez3d]

You're updating the labels too much. Every 5-10 seconds should be fine.

  
contPlayersInArena = function(arenaName) 
local playerCount = 0 
for _,player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if getElementData(player,"Arena") == arenaName then 
        playerCount = playerCount+1 
    end 
end 
    return playerCount 
end 
setTimer(function() 
    guiSetText(label_totalPlayers,#getElementsByType("player").." players online") 
    guiSetText(label_freeroamPlayers,"Online: "..tostring(countPlayersInArena("Freeroam"))) 
    guiSetText(label_currentArena,getElementData(localPlayer,"Arena")) 
    guiSetText(label_playerName,getPlayerName(localPlayer)) 
    guiSetText(label_playerMoney,"$"..convertNumber(getPlayerMoney(localPlayer))) 
end,5000,0)

[FuriouZ]

It needs to close first function somevhere

[cheez3d]

I edited the code above. It should work now.

[FuriouZ]

Still countPlayersInArena a nil value

[cheez3d]

  
countPlayersInArena = function(arenaName) 
local playerCount = 0 
for _,player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if getElementData(player,"Arena") == arenaName then 
        playerCount = playerCount+1 
    end 
end 
    return playerCount 
end 
setTimer(function() 
    guiSetText(label_totalPlayers,#getElementsByType("player").." players online") 
    guiSetText(label_freeroamPlayers,"Online: "..tostring(countPlayersInArena("Freeroam"))) 
    guiSetText(label_currentArena,getElementData(localPlayer,"Arena")) 
    guiSetText(label_playerName,getPlayerName(localPlayer)) 
    guiSetText(label_playerMoney,"$"..convertNumber(getPlayerMoney(localPlayer))) 
end,5000,0) 
  

There was a typo.
