Question about wait action

I'm aware of the wait action bug, and I'd like to know, if somebody leaves or is defeated in a game do I have to adjust the variable with the number of players or should I leave it alone?

You Could make a trigger that checks how many players there is every 5 seconds:

First make a variable type integer named NumUsers. The initial value should be the amount of players so, if there is 4 players the initial value should be 4.

Then you have to make a trigger for each player individually and it would look something like this:

Event:
----Every 5 seconds of the game
Conditions:
----(Player 1 (red) slot status) not equal to is playing
Action: Set NumUsers=(NumUsers -1)

That should be it, i dont know if there's any better way, but this is quite simple and effective.

EDIT:
Sorry, i got it all wrong. kinda missunderstodd you there. anyways If u have this trigger in the beginning u could use this trigger to keep track of the players in the game:

Events:--------
Conditions
----(Player 1 (red) slot status) not equal to is playing
Action:
----Set NumUsers=(NumUsers -1)
----Trigger turn of this trigger

Thanks for showing me how and all but all I really needed to know was if I needed it to be equal to the number of players currently playing and not the number that started in the game. I guess that's true so I'll just whip it up quick.
