Problem with AMX script

I'm trying to get this script working that will automatically add/remove bots to keep the server at a minimum amount of players (4 bots, 3 bots 1 player, 2 bots 2 players, etc). It works fine to begin, puts 4 bots in. However, when the first player joins the player count goes up to 5, so the program kicks a bot (using "realbot remove 1"). The problem is that after this happens the player count stays at 5, so next cycle it kicks another bot, and so on untill it is trying to remove bots when there are none. I tried using the

  get_playersnum(flag = 0)
  get_players(players[32], &num ,const flags[]="", const team[]="")

functions to get the count, but they both produce the same problem.

Does anyone have any ideas to help me????

There is a bug if you use AMX and any bot. After some connects and disconnects AMX fails to initialize the players data structures! Therefore AMX reports wrong player numbers which confuses any AMX plugins which depend on them (PTB, WC3...).
The only way to get arount this problem is to do the playercount on your own. This is quite easy all you need is do add two log events: "entered game" and "disconnected". For an example have a look at my joebot_control AMX plugin.
I hadn't time yet to port the plugin back to realbot but it's not that hard to do...

Im kinda having the same problem, rather then wanting the info of all the players on the server. I want the info on one team.

get_players(players,num,"ae","CT")

This would sometimes work.

I get what your trying to say by logging the connects and disconnects to get the client count, but is there a way to log which client joins which team?

You could register a "joined ... team" log event.
But there are some other difficulties with this approach as you need to know which player is in which team but this can be done with those log events.

I've written a small AMX plugin as a workaround to those problems. It provides five cvars which contain the current numbers of players in each team (and more).
You can download playertrack at my website...

Nice plugin, will work nicely

Thanks Terran

new version available:

Changelog:
v0.2: two new cvars added: tn_pt_humans and tn_pt_bots

Those cvars would be used for player-bot balancing, correct?

[Terran]

You could use it this way for your own plugins .
The current versions of my bot plugins don't depend on the playertrack plugin, they do the count on their own...
