Solved Count of players in damagemap

[Michael Orsino]

Hi guys,

I want to count the number of players in the damagemap of a creature (in this case, a player)
What would be the best way of achieving this?

Kind regards,
Michael


EDIT:
To be more specific please see the below code.
I wish to count the number of players in the damage map so that I can divide the EXP between the killers, rather than apply the full exp formula to each killer.

function onKill(cid, target, lastHit)

    local attackPlayer = Player(target)

    local reward = {
            item = rewardItem,
            count = rewardCount
            }

    if not attackPlayer then
        return true
    end

    for id, damage in pairs(attackPlayer:getDamageMap()) do
       
        local player = Player(id)
        if player then
            if player:getIp() ~= target:getIp() then
                local experience = attackPlayer:getExperience()
                local expFormula = (experience * expMultiplier)
                local bonusExpFormula = (experience * bonusExpMultiplier)
--standard reward
                player:addExperience(math.floor(expFormula), true)
                player:addItem(reward.item, reward.count)
                player:setStorageValue(fragStor, player:getStorageValue(fragStor) + 1)

--bonus GOLD
                if player:getStorageValue(doubleFragRewardStor) >= 1 then
                    player:addItem(reward.item, reward.count)
                    player:setStorageValue(doubleFragRewardStor, player:getStorageValue(doubleFragRewardStor) -1)
                    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "Bonus frag reward added! " .. player:getStorageValue(doubleFragRewardStor) .. " bonus frags remaining!")

                end
--bonus EXP
                if player:getLevel() <= maximumLevel and player:getStorageValue(extraExpStor) >= 1 then
                    player:addExperience(math.floor(bonusExpFormula), true)
                    player:setStorageValue(extraExpStor, player:getStorageValue(extraExpStor) - 1)
                    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "Bonus frag EXP added! " .. player:getStorageValue(extraExpStor) .. " bonus frags remaining!")
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

 

[Codex NG]

local numberOfPlayers = #attackPlayer:getDamageMap()

Unfortunately this returns 0, but I think it is on the right path. I just can't think of how to accomplish it.
It needs to look at the damagemap of the target, and count the number of attackerId - I think, anyway.

 

[tetra20]

local players = 0
for id, damage in pairs(attackPlayer:getDamageMap()) do
players = players + 1
end

Thanks Tetra20, that looks like it will do the trick. I'll have a play with it properly tomorrow!

never mind hehe
