Numplayers

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

Returns the number of non-bot players in the game.

In singleplayer, it is set to 1.

The non-bot player IDs range from zero to numplayers minus 1. Meaning bots will always hold the highest IDs.

In the original Duke Nukem 3D, once a player quit, numplayers would decrease permanently, meaning it was impossible for a new player to join mid-game.

It can also be used for when making a loop through all non-players. Example:

for My_Player range numplayers
{
  [...]
}

While MULTIMODE stores the total of player in the game, numplayers stores only non-bot players.
