How to get the current Player count?

I've been trying to figure out how I can find out the amount of people in my game at the start of a round because I want to update a value in my random number generator based on that amount.

I've tried using the player counter device but literally the only variable I can't fetch is the current player count & only the target count (frustrating). I am also trying to increase a custom variable in a verse device by subscribing to the player counter's On Player Counted & On Player Removed events but I am also struggling to get this up and running as well.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can do this?
