Hello, is there any way to get the online players IDs?
Example:
I have connected 5 players, they're IDs are: 5, 6, 7, 19 and 39.
How can I get randomly, one of those IDs?

Y_iterate (foreach) has a function for this.

You can also do it with plain pawn functions.

You can create an array with the size of MAX_PLAYERS.
Then loop through all players and check if it's connected.
In case that ID is connected, add it to the array and count the connected players.
The you can get a random player from that array, using the count as random value.

pawn Код:

GetRandomConnectedPlayer()
{
    // Setup local variables
    new PlayerList[MAX_PLAYERS], Count;

    // Loop through all players
    for (new i; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        // If this player is connected
        if (IsPlayerConnected(i))
        {
            // Add him to the player-list and increase the count
            PlayerList[Count] = i;
            Count++;
        }
    }

    // Select a random player from the connected players stored in the list and return it
    return PlayerList[random(Count)];
}

Usage:

pawn Код:

RandomPlayer = GetRandomConnectedPlayer();

This is the best way, i guess.. I did quite the same thing today with a script for my server ahahha
