I want to know how to create a form where the player can input as many different usernames and passwords as they like and then I can convert that into my declareplayers procedure.

I have a rough idea of how to go about this I'm just not completely sure…

Multiple text fields, assigning each text field to an array of player info?

PlayerList[0] := TextField1.text
PlayerList[1] := TextField2.text

Something like that?

Check out the MSI form, see how that one's done.

MSI appears to use WriteINI and ReadINI to save and load the player information from it's settings document. There has to be a simpler way to do this because I do not think this script warrants having it's own setting document.

I'll have a tamper with NKN's suggesting, it seems to be somewhat down the road I had in my mind already

There is an ancient form of mine implementing multi-player. I cbf'ed to explain it.

Cool, thanks Mormonman! :) I'll have a read through the code and figure it out.

You can use HowManyPlayers/NumberOfPlayers and store the form values directly into the players values. Switching between list items you just show the values stored in the corresponding players array. Adding a player you Inc(HowManyPlayers), etc.

This is roughly how I was going to enter the info -

  
  for i := 0 to (HowManyPlayers - 1) do
  begin
    with Players[i] do
    begin
      Name         := FormUser[i].text;       
      Pass         := FormPass[i].text;         
      Active       := ActiveCheck[i].Checked;    
    end;
  end;

I consider saving form settings a pretty important part of the form…you shouldn't leave it out, and trying to add it afterwards can get ugly.
