This should work better than using 'minetest.env:get_objects_inside_radius' though you could have cycled through 'minetest.object_refs' if you wanted all the objects.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: local connected_players = {} minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(obj) connected_players[obj:get_player_name()] = obj end) minetest.register_on_leaveplayer(function(obj) connected_players[obj:get_player_name()] = nil end) function minetest.get_connected_players() return connected_players end

The api doc says it returns a "list of connected players", does that imply the keys have to be consecutive numbers? Are there mods that iterate the returned table with ipairs? I agree that having the player names as keys is quite nice, but it could break mods that assume a simple array.

If you want to cycle thorugh it use ipairs

better 'minetest.get_connected_players'

better 'minetest.get_connected_players'
