hello there i have a menu where im adding players the think is that how i make to update those players caus some times players leave but there are still in the menu.

so the idea is to delete those players and add the new players when they connect to the server or chosse a team

here the code of the menu, so how i could delete a player from it if they leave/disconnect and add a player who connect

PHP Code:

 public AwesomeMenu(id)
 {
    //Create a variable to hold the menu
    menu = menu_create("\wSelect Your Team Player:", "menu_handler");

    //Some variables to hold information about the players
    new szName[32], szTempid[10];

    //Start looping through all players
    for( new i; i<iNum; i++ )
    {
        //Save a tempid so we do not re-index
        tempid = iPlayers[i];

        //Get the players name and id as strings
        get_user_name(tempid, szName, 31);
        num_to_str(tempid, szTempid, 9);

        menu_setprop(menu, MPROP_EXIT, MEXIT_NEVER);

        //Add the item for this player
        menu_additem(menu, szName, szTempid, 0);

    }

    //We now have all players in the menu, lets display the menu
    menu_display(id, menu, 0);
    cap_id = id
}

could be wrong but isnt the older style menu better for that sort of thing? or easier. since the old style menu is more fluid.

I thought i read something about that some where else. that bail did this for his CSDM and the older menu works better for this sort of thing.. but i could be wrong.

Keep track of who is in the menu with a global variable. When a player joins or leaves, loop through all players, if they are viewing the menu then show them the menu again.

like this?

PHP Code:

for( new i = 0; i < iNum; i++ )
    {
        if ( iPlayers[ i ] == id ){
            iPlayers[ i ] = iPlayers[ --iNum ];
        }
    }

I would probably just rebuild the menu on client_connect() and client_disconnect(). However, I'm not sure how tricky it is because I think you need to destroy the previous menu and then show the newly created menu to the person with the menu open. This would probably mean you would need to have a global variable (array; on cell per person) for the menu IDs.

I think this would be less confusing than trying to keep track of online players in a global array.

OR, more inline with Emp's thinking you could make a global menu and update the global menu on connect and disconnect. This would mean there is no need for any global arrays for tracking (if you can see if they are viewing that menu and then reshow the menu).
