idk how to use *

[Deep thinker]

hey i have a script which makes the slots of the players half than the current

local curMaxPlayers = getMaxPlayers()
local newMaxPlayers = math.ceil( curMaxPlayers / 2 )

setMaxPlayers( newMaxPlayers )

and i tried to make it double the slots by changing "/" into "*" but it failed can someone tell me what to do,and please don't tell me to change the config i am not that silly :3

local curMaxPlayers = getMaxPlayers()
local newMaxPlayers = curMaxPlayers * 2

setMaxPlayers( newMaxPlayers )

Remove the math.ceil when multiplying.

From the wiki:   Note: This function can not set more than <maxplayers> as defined in mtaserver.conf. 

Using  https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetServerConfigSetting  might work.

The name of the setting. Only certain settings from mtaserver.conf can be changed with this function. These are:

 Max players is not something that are able to change through that.

then you mean i can't change the slots using this function?

Try just setting your max slots in the server config to something really high like 500, then setting it in game lower; and slowly increase it with this.
