All players have a negative ID and index?
 

Right, try this:

if(playerenters) toweapons Tester;
if(weaponfired){
for(this.i=1;this.i<playerscount;this.i++){
if(((playerx-players[this.i].x)^2)+((playery-players[this.i].y)^2)<9) hitplayer this,i,1,playerx+1,playery+1.5;
}
}

It will only work on NPCs. Why?
It's not hitplayer, you can put anything in there, setplayerprop #c,#n(this.i); for example, it absolutely refuses to work on Players and only since the last release. Weapons like Leapfrog, simple, even detects players[this.i].id<0, now ONLY work on NPCs, whose .ids should ALWAYS be < 0, but absolutely REFUSES to work on a player.

I mean, have I completely lost my marbles, or is something indeed wrong?

*cough* I wonder if Stefan has a Bugs Admin anymore.

Hmm... Just wondering but it also probably doesn't work if you use:
[for (i=0;i<0-playerscount;i--) ?

Haven't tried going 0 to negative playerscount. Might work. Might blow up. Not willing to risk it on Classic. I have, of course, tried going from playerscount-1 to 0, with a similar lack of effect.

Godspeed is I think.

I heard he's been gone for weeks, which means if Stefan doesn't notice this thread on his own, it never gets fixed. Which means I have to find a workaround and put it in EVERY NPCW and NPC Character that recognizes multiple players in Classic. Which would be a pain, but I'll do it if it's only once...

God Speed is back now

Um, yay?

It has not been fixed in the new version...I wonder if Stefan even knows about this. Or maybe I'm just halucenating it somehow...
