When i hosted my game and i have this var/People = 0

mob/Login()
if(!People)
alert("You are the descendent of the great Erdrick.")
usr.icon = 'Erdrick.dmi'
src.loc=locate("King")
..()
else
src<<"This is a one player game!"
del(src)

Okay, I can't manage to make any sense of that. But the problem you're having is that in the if(!People) block, when the player logs in you don't set People to 1. So when a second player logs in, People is still 0 and so the same block of code executes.

I had this question awhile ago myself...lemme try to help you out. First of all....you need to give the world a var, like so,

var
People

Then when somone logs in, you can add one to this or something. Then when somone else logs in, or tries to, hehe, have it check to see if the people var is at it's max, one in this case, and if it is, then del(src) or whatever.Hope this helped.

Oh so would i do this
mob/Login()
var/People = 0
usr.People=1
if(!People)
alert("You are the descendent of the great Erdrick.")
usr.icon = 'Erdrick.dmi'
src.loc=locate("King")
..()
else
src<<"This is a one player game!"
del(src)
Would this work

In response to Greg
No, it wouldn't because you add to the var before the check and no one would be able to join period:

mob/Login()
    if(!Players)
        Players+=1
        ..()
     else
         src<<"This is a one player game!"
         del(src)



Oh yes, and make Players a global var or it won't work.
