So I've noticed that when using %CLIENTS% on spherestatusbase.htm it returns the value of every connection to the server, including people just looking at the server status page on their browser. So I made a little command that runs every world save and checks if the player has a UID or not. It seems to work fine, but I don't know if this is the right way to do it? I'm assuming this may bog down the server at a high playerbase?

Code:

[FUNCTION F_ONLINECLIENTS]

serv.var.onlineclients=0

FORCLIENTS 6144

IF <uid> = 

return 1

else

var.onlineclients= (<VAR.ONLINECLIENTS>+1)

endif

endfor

[FUNCTION GETCLIENTS]

Return <EVAL (<VAR.ONLINECLIENTS>)>

If I were you, I would disable the sphere web status, and do another one by mysql

I plan on doing that later on down the road, just wanted to get one going for a bit.

Do you need only number of connected players or they names etc.? Whatever you can use LISTS. Try something like this:

Code:

[FUNCTION f_player_online]

if (<isplayer>)

  serv.list.onlineplayers.add <name>

endif

return 0

Then go to sphere_serv_triggers.scp and use this code

Code:

[FUNCTION f_onserver_timer] // [FUNCTION f_onserver_save]

serv.list.onlineplayers.clear

serv.allclients f_player_online

return 0

The number of players will be <serv.list.onlineplayers.count> and you can simple get each player name from this list

Code:

[FUNCTION f_get_players_list]

for i 0 <eval <serv.list.onlineplayers.count>>-1  // LISTS are zero based?

  serv.log <serv.list.onlineplayers.<dlocal.i>>

endfor

return 0

or just show list

Code:

[FUNCTION f_show_list]

serv.log <serv.list.onlineplayers>

return 0

As u want.

you can use LIST engine as Kanibal said, but I think webpages can't read info from LIST's, so this code can be useful to show online player list ingame on some dialog/function/etc, but not on webpages

if you just want get the online players without count connections without chars connected ingame, you can use an simple function like this

Code:

[FUNCTION UpdateOnlineClientsVar]

VAR.OnlineClients=0

IF (<SERV.CLIENTS>)

  FOR 0 <eval <SERV.CLIENTS>-1>

    IF (<SERV.CLIENT.<LOCAL._FOR>.UID>)

      VAR.OnlineClients ++

    ENDIF

  ENDFOR

ENDIF

this will update VAR.OnlineClients so you just need to read this VAR.OnlineClients value on your webpage

or use madskillz (Click to View)

P.S. I did not test this thing so try it yourself

Code:

[FUNCTION UpdateOnlineClientsVar]

VAR.OnlineClients=0

IF (<SERV.CLIENTS>)

  FOR 0 <eval <SERV.CLIENTS>-1>

    IF (<SERV.CLIENT.<LOCAL._FOR>.UID>)

      VAR.OnlineClients ++

    ENDIF

  ENDFOR

ENDIF

How can I make this check if the player has a tag or not? Trying to make it so staff can use a command to hide and have this not add them to the client count.

***Coruja*** · 12-27-2016 05:46 PM

you can check using char UID

Code:

[FUNCTION UpdateOnlineClientsVar]

VAR.OnlineClients=0

IF (<SERV.CLIENTS>)

  FOR 0 <eval <SERV.CLIENTS>-1>

    REF1=<SERV.CLIENT.<LOCAL._FOR>.UID>

    IF (<REF1>)

      IF (<REF1.ACCOUNT.PLEVEL> < 2)  //or (<REF1.TAG0.AAA>), etc

        VAR.OnlineClients ++

      ENDIF

    ENDIF

  ENDFOR

ENDIF
