Detect If Player In Match

[habitat666]

Hey all.

Wondering if anyone has a good/easy/reliable way to detect if a player is in a match and not just the lobby. Been looking around, but I'm afraid I am just not using the best search terms.

Anyway, this can be C++ and/or C#.

Thanks!

Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I thought it'd fit here.

Afaik you need to use(Read) structures in the game, Not sure how to use/find them.

Aren't there strings for the player names once the match has started ? I just checked those to see if there were players back in MW3

Sorry for my very late reply, been a touch busy with little time to post.

Thanks for the answers, guys. I'll keep looking.
