How to count how many players are in a photon room?

Replying to the person who asked this previously: construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/count-players-photon-room-172395

A bit late to the party but I managed to get it to work!

On the layout that'll list rooms in the lobby, connect to name server first.

Then do:

Then do On lobbies statistics update: Room1text.text set text to ""Players: "&Photon.roomplayercount("Room1")&"/"&photon.RoomMaxPlayers("Room1")

It'll read as 0/0 if noone is in so I add a bit that puts the max player number there. (When someone joins, it'll update the max player number here in the lobby too!):

Room1text: if Text is "Players: 0/0" - set text to "Players: 0/10"

Then click to join the room, on the new layout, join the room as usual and if someone is in this lobby, it'll update when they join:

Layout with game in:

Make sure when you click to join the lobby you do a Photon: Reset as well!

It's also worth noting that you don't need to join any lobbies to be able to see player counts, so skip that line even if I included it. It'll just end up increasing your total ActorNrs anyway.
