Players Panel

Select players for the game and define their positions, teams and colours...

Screenshot

The number of player slots (maxPlayers) is determined by the number of starting positions (startPositions[]) defined on the currently selected map.

The players are ordered by their start position, with position 0 at the top of the list. Changing a player's start position does not change their player ID.

The player ID is set by the order in which players join the game, not the position on the map they are in. The human game host is always player 0.

The playerData[] array contains a list of all players in the game, indexed by player ID, with 'me' being your script's player ID. The position of a player is stated in their Player object within that array. Once you have their position, you can determine the x,y co-ordinates of that position from the startPositions[] array.
