the only idea i had was to make a array of GameObjects.
make a player join hook.
make a player leave hook

when someone joins, it puts their GameObject in the array. where their ID would be the index of the array.

whe someone leaves it uses their ID as an index in the array to set it to null.

when i want to see all the players just call Get_Player_Count() and loop that many times through the array.

Look at how the Get_GameObj_By_Player_Name function in engine.cpp does it.

In scripts.dll 3.2, I will be looking into providing some things to iterate over the player list.

I am also considering rewriting a few engine calls such as Get_Team_Player_Count, Steal_Team_Credits and others to use this new player list iteration.
