Code: Show/Hide

int i=0;

_listnode <Player> *parse = playerlist->head;
while (parse)
{
Player *p = parse->item;
if (p->ship != SHIP_Spectator)
++i;

parse = parse->next;
}

if (i == 2)
countdown[1] = 5;

Or if you want, just do this, its how i would do it.

spawn.h;

Code: Show/Hide

class botInfo
{
int SpecPop;
void CountSpec();
}

spawn.cpp;

Code: Show/Hide

void botInfo::CountSpec()
{
SpecPop=0;
_listnode <Player> * parse = playerlist->head;
Player *p = parse->item;
while (parse)
{
   if (p->ship == SHIP_Spectate)
   //Or, if you want to count the FREQ not SHIP
   //if(p->team == /*spec freq*/)
   //put em together to ignore staff like me who play on the spec freq to talk.
      SpecPop++;
   parse = parse->next;
}
}

Call it on EVENT_PlayerShip, EVENT_PlayerSpec, EVENT_PlayerEnter, and EVENT_PlayerExit. That would re-poll the entire arena every time, as a sort of double check. And in the EVENT_ArenaEnter and EVENT_ArenaLeave, for when the bot moves/spawns.
