How can I figure out how many players are in the teams in MervBot

Is there an array like 'playersInTeam[x]' or is there a possibility to use this playerlist

Uint16 teamplayers [MAX_TEAMS]; // Assuming MAX_TEAMS is the max number of teams you wanna check
_listnode<Player> *p = playerlist->head;
while (p)
{
if (p->team < MAX_TEAMS)
teamplayers[p->team]++;
p = p->next;
}

In EVENT_PlayerSpec and EVENT_PlayerTeam I have added this line

Code: Show/Hide

checkTeams();

checkTeams looks like this:

Code: Show/Hide

void botInfo::checkTeams()
{
Uint16 teamplayers[2];
String s;
_listnode<Player> *p = playerlist->head;
while (p)
{
   if (p->item->team < 2 && p->item->ship != SHIP_Spectator)
   teamplayers[p->item->team]++;
   p = p->next;
}
if (teamplayers[0] == teamplayers[1])
{
   s = "Teams are even. Evens:";
   s += teamplayers[0];
   s += " Odds:";
   s += teamplayers[1];
}else{
   s = "Teams are uneven. Evens:";
   s += teamplayers[0];
   s += " Odds:";
   s += teamplayers[1];
}
sendPublic(s);
}

It doesn't work. Do you see the error

try initializing:

teamplayers[0] = 0;
teamplayers[1] = 0;

before you use them.

Thank you. That was the solution. I first learned VB (I know, I know: It's not good starting with VB and then changing to C

)and there it's not necessary to initialize the variables to get the programs work properly.
