MAX_SLOTS or MAX_PLAYERS - Celson - 02.12.2010

I've always assumed that MAX_PLAYERS was defined by the 'maxplayers' value in the server config. Was I right?

If I was wrong. Does that mean when ever I've used the MAX_PLAYERS in a for loop, is it looping 500 times?

MAX_PLAYERS will always 500.

Unless you use these,

pawn Код:

#undef MAX_PLAYERS
#define MAX_PLAYERS 50// 50 = Server slots

Yes, I usually use it:

pawn Код:

#define MAX_SPLAYERS (ammount)
#define MAX_SVEHICLES (ammount)

To get max players from server.cfg i beleive its this, (slower than MAX_PLAYERS though)

pawn Код:

for(new i; i < GetMaxPlayers(); i++)

You could also do this for loops:

pawn Код:

//Global variable
new TOTAL_PLAYERS;

//OnGameModeInit:
TOTAL_PLAYERS = GetMaxPlayers();

//Loop:
for(new i; i < TOTAL_PLAYERS; i++)

Should be faster than calling GetMaxPlayers() every time.

However, I would recommend simply using foreach include.
