How to count the amount of players alive on a team

[[PGN]Schuyler]

this is what i got so far and i cant make it so i counts the alive ones

draw.DrawText("Props Alive: "..team.NumPlayers(TEAM_PROPS).."/", "shudfont2", ScrW()/1.38, ScrH()/1.04, Color(255, 255, 255, 255))

i checked the wiki and i couldn't find it

I checked the wiki, and team.NumPlayers only seems to return the amount of players on a team, but you need to get the player's entity in order to check if they're alive.
Instead, loop through all players, check if they're alive, and which team they're on

local amountAlive = 0
for k, ply in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
    if IsValid(ply) and ply:Team() == TEAM_PROPS and ply:Alive() then
        amountAlive = amountAlive + 1
    end
end
print("Props Alive: " .. amountAlive)

Try put that outside the Paint function.
[lua]
frame.Paint = function(self, w, h)
local amountAlive = 0
for k, ply in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if IsValid(ply) and ply:Team() == TEAM_PROPS and ply:Alive() then -- if this is what you're are doing it's going to keep looping every frame and not work
amountAlive = amountAlive + 1
end
end
end[/lua]

if that dosen't work just make a function and return the number of alive players in the team

[lua]
function countAlivePlayers()
local amountAlive = 0
for k, ply in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if IsValid(ply) and ply:Team() == TEAM_PROPS and ply:Alive() then -- if this is what you're are doing it's going to keep looping every frame
amountAlive = amountAlive + 1
end
end
return amountAlive
end[/lua]
