in the main write this:

Code:

---

	if(connection == 3)
	{
		iPlayerConnected += 1;
	}

---

this is not necesarry though, only if you run your game as server+client

create your character. and in the on_server function call this:

Code:

---

function server_called(strPlayerName)
{
	ifdef server;
		if(event_type == event_join)
		{
			iPlayerConnected += 1;
			send_var(iPlayerConnected);
		}
		if(event_type == event_leave)
		{
			iPlayerConnected -= 1;
			send_var(iPlayerConnected);
		}
	endif;
	wait(1);
}

---

this should work, i use ti like this in my game and it works perfect.
