I know this shows lag stat("Lag",world.cpu)

world.cpu has nothing to do with lag.

To show the number of people in-game...

var/Players = 0
mob/Login()
..()
Players += 1
mob/Logout()
..()
Players -= 1

A better solution is to keep a global list of players; this is more useful overall, because that list can be used for lots of other things, including listing the players who are logged in:
var/list/players=list()

mob
  Login()
    ..()
    players+=src
  Logout()
    players-=src
    ..()

  Stat()
    statpanel("Players")
    stat("-- [players.len] player\s logged in --")
    for(var/mob/M in players-src)
      if(!M)
        players-=null
        continue
      M.suffix="Health [round(M.HP*100/M.maxHP)]% -- [M.score] point\s"
      stat(M.name)

The players list is useful for other commands, including admin commands, private messages, etc.

Yeah, I guess, but he just wanted a number.

True, but any game worth its salt is gonna need admin commands, among other things, and ultimately the players list is going to become necessary (or at least much more useful). Having it opens lots of doors for special options in the game, but having just a number provides only a number.

acually, i think this code is cool

mob/Stat()
statpanel("Players Online")
for(var/mob/M in world)
if(M.client)
stat(M)
..()
