Summary	0000516: thingCountName( "DoomPlayer", 0 )
Description	When you want to count the number of alive players in the game, you might use the following statement: thingCountName( "DoomPlayer", 0 ). It works fine for the most part but breaks in some cases. In coop, it breaks when someone spectates. For example: if you have two players in-game and one of them spectates, the function will continue to report that two players are in game. You can then rejoin the game and the count will get incremented to 3. Repeat to increase the count farther. In Survival, the count includes eliminated players. It works fine when the player is in the death sequence but as soon as the player joins the spectating team, it starts to include the eliminated player. I haven't tested this function in other game modes.
