Better explanation of the possible shared implementation of this function

	==~~Clientside Example (Doesn't user~~ getPlayerCount!)==		==Shared implementation of getPlayerCount==
	~~This example uses the~~ getElementsByType ~~function~~ to ~~display~~ the ~~player count~~, same result but also ~~works~~ clientside!		''getElementsByType("player")'' returns a regular-indexed table with every player connected to the server, so by counting how many entries has the table (by using the ''#'' operator) we can archieve the same result as this function, but also clientside. However, it's more efficient to use the built-in function serverside. The next function replaces this function accordingly serverside and clientside to work on both.

	end		-- If originalGetPlayerCount is defined, that means that this function is executed serverside.
	)		-- The next line returns the result of the original function if it's defined. If not, it counts the number of player elements (to also work clientside).
