This is a serverside AS1 function keeps messing up and looping past the number of players after the last player is dead… Any ideas how to best do this?

```auto
var playerTurn=0;
var stopLoop=0;
function nextTurn() {
    turnTick=0;
    stopLoopAt = room.getMaxUsers();
    while (Players[playerTurn].Alive == false && stopLoop < stopLoopAt) {
        ++playerTurn;
        ++stopLoop;
    }
    takeTurn(Players[playerTurn].sfsId);
    currentTurn=playerTurn;
    ++playerTurn;
    if (playerTurn == stopLoopAt){
        playerTurn = 0;
    }
}

```
