Return users, number of network users

[Jent]

This is a server-side mod!

 

I've checked the Javadocs without finding a method I could use.

 

I've tried getNumActivePlayers, but that's a local one, i.e. it always returns 1 no matter the number of networked users.

 

Is there a way to list all current active remote IDs?

 

I need to get the number of users currently connected to the server, and a way to reference each one. Any suggestions?

You could try something like this (not tested - just an idea):

local players = {};for i = 0, maxPlayers do      local insert = getSpecificPlayer(i);      if insert then          table.insert(players, insert);      endend

Darn it. I thought I followed to this thread, but that was not the case. Anyways...

 

I've tried something similar, but I can't seem to be able to get the player. getSpecificPlayer returns nil no matter what player ID I tried with (0..10 for example). I suspect networked players differ from local players (getSpecificPlayer is local?).

getSpecificPlayer() was introduced with co-op so I thought they might have carried it over to multiplayer - obviously they didn't

 

Have you checked the farming code already?

Yeah, the hunt continues.

 

Farming code?

Just wanted to check the farming code but after updating to iwillbackupmysave there is no lua-code for farming/camping so I checked Build 24 but I can´t find anything according to getting the connected players.
