how would I go about detecting number of players near a player?

[zamani532]

I'm completely unsure of how I'd go about doing this, I want to somehow detect if X number of players are near eachother.. serverside.. any clues?

{
    if(isPlayer _x) then {
        private ["_cnt", "_plr"];
        _plr = _x;
        _cnt = 0;
        {
            if(isPlayer _x) then {
                _cnt = _cnt + 1;
            };
        } forEach nearestObjects [_x, ["Man"], 50];

        hint format ["%1 players around %2", (_cnt - 1), name _plr];
    };
} forEach allUnits; 

Didn't actually test the code, but it should work. This cycles through all players and counts players around them and puts number into _cnt. It will include player himself (so it is _cnt - 1 players around him). 50 is radius to check around each player.

Thanks for the example I'll work with it and see if I can get my script to work!
