               I wanted some variables to reset when a player leaves the area but only if there are no other players still in that area. Is there any function that can check whether the area is empty or not?

Thanks. '<img'>

               There's a bunch of ways to skin that cat. This is probably the best, given considerations of speed, reliability, and simplicity.

int GetIsAreaEmpty(object oArea) {

    object oPC = GetFirstPC();
    while (GetIsObjectValid(oPC)) {
        if (GetArea(oPC) == oArea)
            return FALSE;
        oPC = GetNextPC();
    }
    return TRUE;
}
