How do i make so that when the host logs on it makes you ask what max players to logon like the limit of people can join.

mob/Login()
    if(src.key==world.host)
        spawn() PlayerLimit=input(src,"Input Max Players","Player Limit",PlayerLimit)as num

var/PlayerCount=0
var/PlayerLimit=10

mob/Logout()
    PlayerCount-=1

mob/Login()
    if(PlayerCount>=PlayerLimit)
        src<<"Server is Full"
        del src;return
    PlayerCount+=1

of course youll have to merge that with the previous code...

Wrong place to put that.

client/New()
  if(players < limit)
    players++
    ..()

client/Del()
  players--

HM, is that why my player count gets off sometimes! interesting theory

In response to Falacy
That isn't a theory in the smallest amount.

        del(src)
    else
        PlayerCount++

If you have to choose between Garthor and Falacy, choose Garthor every single time, without fail.

It would not work. You fail to call ..() in client/New() or client/Del(). Failing to call the default behaviour for client/New() will result in a mob not being created for the client, thus logging the client off.

yours is pretty much what Garthor put <.<
though for some reason neither of you have it call the parent in client/Del o.O

Use world/IsBanned() to determine if a player can join or not because of too many players being logged in.

Can i ask one more thing ? So on status i would put something like this [PlayerCount]/[PlayerLimit]?

        limit = max(0, min(limit, 100))
        if(limit == 100) limit = null
        playerlimit = limit
        world.update_status()
        usr << "The new player limit is [playerlimit ? playerlimit : "unlimited"].\
        Note that existing players will not be kicked, even if the limit is reached."

mob/Login()
    .=..()
    if(key == world.host)
        verbs += typesof(/admin/verb)
        src << "<b>You are the host.</b> Do not abuse your powers."
        if(playerlimit == -1)
            src << "The game is currently locked. To unlock it, set a player limit with the \"set player limit\" verb."


Exercise #1: Implement this snippet in your game, without blatantly copying and pasting it. Keep in mind that some procs such as client/New(), client/Del(), mob/Login() and world/New() should not be overridden at another point in the project, as it will cause confusion later on.

Exercise #2: Try to make a list of reserved players. This list should be editable by the host. Players on this list will receive immunity from the player limit, and may login even if the limit has been reached.
