There's no SA-MP function to count how many players are online, but you can easily create one.

pawn Код:

stock CountPlayersOnline() {
    new
        iCount;
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++) {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i)) iCount++;
    }
    
    return iCount;
}

Top of your script, below the defines:

pawn Код:

new players;

OnPlayerConnect:

pawn Код:

players++;

OnPlayerDisconnect:

pawn Код:

players--;

Somewhere in your script:

pawn Код:

stock GetAllPlayersOnline()
{
  return players;
}

Usage:

pawn Код:

GetAllPlayersOnline()

@ Post above: Why would you use loops for such an easy and small thing.

@ Calg00ne: I think you can better do when player connects: PlayersOnline++ and when one leaves: PlayersOnline-- than looping through all players every time (however it's better if you only use it once).

And someone was faster than me :/

so if i wanted to print the players online in the server thing... i would do printf("players online: %s", players);

Almost, the code is correct, except the placeholder. %s is for strings, you should use %i, or %d.

So:

pawn Код:

printf("Players Online: %d", players);

Yes, I know that, but the fact is that if he's using it in an include without hooking, then he's going to evidently have a lot of trouble.

ok... so.. if i wanted to use this, i would write CountPlayersOnline(); and then printf("players online: %i", iCount); in a timer that has an interval of 10000 or something?
