It's not safe for you to touch anything in an edict_t except for entvars
(usually accessed via CBaseEntity->pev).
Here are the functions that Phineas Bot uses to count players.
Apologies for what e-mail might do to formatting:
int UTIL_ClientsInGame( void )
{
int iCount = 0;
for ( int iIndex = 1; iIndex <= gpGlobals->maxClients; iIndex++ )
{
CBaseEntity * pPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex( iIndex );
if ( pPlayer == NULL )
continue;
if ( FNullEnt( pPlayer->pev ) )
continue;
if ( FStrEq( STRING( pPlayer->pev->netname ), "" ) )
continue;
iCount++;
}
return iCount;
}
int UTIL_HumansInGame( void )
{
int iCount = 0;
for ( int iIndex = 1; iIndex <= gpGlobals->maxClients; iIndex++ )
{
CBaseEntity *pPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex( iIndex );
if ( pPlayer == NULL )
continue;
if ( FNullEnt( pPlayer->pev ) )
continue;
if ( FStrEq( STRING( pPlayer->pev->netname ), "" ) )
continue;
if ( FBitSet( pPlayer->pev->flags, FL_FAKECLIENT ) )
continue;
iCount++;
}
return iCount;
}
