Description:: Return count of players playing on given side. Works only in multiplayer, in singleplayer always returns 0. Returns number of playable slots taken by a side, not actual number of players of the side present in the mission. As a result, players who claimed a slot in the lobby but didn't start the mission yet are counted in as well.
Groups:: Uncategorised

Example 1:

_west = playersNumber west;
_east = playersNumber east;
_civ = playersNumber civilian;
hint format [ "West:%1 East:%2, Civ:%3", _west, _east, _civ];
