# GetPlayerPoolSize

warning

This function was added in SA-MP 0.3.7 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

Gets the highest playerid currently in use on the server. Note that in SA:MP this function is broken and will return `0` even when there are no players. open.mp correct this to return `-1`, but also deprecate the function in favour of `MAX_PLAYERS` or `foreach`.

## Examples

```c
FreezeAll()
{
    // note that we assign the return value to a new variable (j) to avoid calling the function with each iteration
    for (new i = 0, j = GetPlayerPoolSize(); i <= j; i++)
    {
        TogglePlayerControllable(i, 0);
    }
}
```
