Getting number of connected players when you are the server.

Hi,

If I poll the hostlist from the masterserver, then I can easily retrieve the information about all available servers and their name + connected players and max connections.

However.

Once I let my program BE the server, I would like to be able to see how many clients are currently connected to me.

Is there a way to ask unity how many clients are connected to me (as a server?).

I'd like to have a message showing "There are currently X players connected to you"

But I don't really poll the hostlist for that. It is rather local.


Any idea somebody ?


Kind regards,

Bart

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var numOfConnectedPlayers = Network.connections.Length;
3.

Ah thanks,

Didn't think of going to look there...

 

Network.connections.length doesn't seem to work in C#, how would you get around it? At least I can't seem to get it working in Leepos awesome networking tutorial.

Thank you!

 

It doesn't work in C#? Unusual. Please post some code.

 

the length of an array is the value in Length in C# / .NET actually, js just has a deprecated alias (not sure its still there) for it and thus can use length.

 

Code (csharp):

1. GUILayout.Label("Connections: " + Network.connections.length);
2.  

or even a line like:

Code (csharp):

1. if (Network.connections.length >= 1)

error CS0117: `UnityEngine.NetworkPlayer[]' does not contain a definition for `length'


The above line of code works fine in JS.

Thank you!

In C# it's capital L length. Just one of those quirks.

 

Thank you appreciate it!
