2024-04-16 edit:
playersNumber returns playable AI as well as human players.
By default, a unit (placed down in the editor for example) ONLY becomes playable when the creator specifically checks the relevant checkbox.
In addition to the examples already given, this is how playersNumber can be used to get an array of players and playable AI on the same side as the side of the player:
playersNumber playerSide;
