GetMaxClients won't work

[anakin_cstrike]

So i have this for instance


#include <sourcemod>

new gi_MaxPlayers;

public OnPluginStart()
{
gi_MaxPlayers = GetMaxClients ( );
}

public Action:MyFunc ( /* ... */ )
{
MyStock ( );
return;
}

stock MyStock ( /* ... */ )
{
for ( new i_Index = 1; i_Index <= gi_MaxPlayers; i_Index++ )
{
if ( ! IsClientInGame ( i_Index ) || ! IsPlayerAlive ( i_Index ) )
continue;

PrintToChat ( i_Index,"test" );
}
}

I'm the only one connected to the server and it doesn't prints me that message, nor i receive some error in the server console. What's the problem? thanks

EDIT: ok so i kinda fixed it, i think the problem was that i have maxclients set to 16, i just put 32 or random number instead of the index and it works...but why?

EDIT2: Now i'm getting this error and it bothers me for a while
L 01/02/2012 - 20:09:02: [SM] Native "IsClientInGame" reported: Client index 17 is invalid

the code is like this

for ( new i_Player = 1; i_Player <= 32; i_Player++ )
{
if ( ! ( IsClientInGame ( i_Player ) && ! IsPlayerAlive ( i_Player ) ) )
continue;
// stuff...

for(new i=1; i<=MaxClients; i++)
{
if(IsClientInGame(i) && IsPlayerAlive(i))
{
PrintToChat(i, "Test");
}
}


Loop through your clients like this. MaxClients is a predefined variable at runtime.
Doing this "i_Player <= 32;" was probably your problem, IsClientInGame likes to throw error when you give it invalid client indexes. MaxClients is the limit you want.

Why you need do this, there is already MaxClients.
public const MaxClients; /**< Maximum number of players the server supports (dynamic) */http://docs.sourcemod.net/api/index.php?fastload=file&id=25&file=&

Also, MaxClients and GetMaxClients() shouldn't be called before OnMapStart(), so, shouldn't be called at OnPluginStart().
