How can I make it so when the user comes on, it can detect if the user is the one hosting?

        Login()
            if(Players==0)
                Players = 1
                usr << "You are the host!"


You have to define var/global/Players

You can start by posting in the correct forum for this kind of thing--Newbie Central.

Read the forum description for general.

You define it by not posting coding problems in the General forum. :P And by typing var/Players outside of any object/proc definitions... that is, not indented at all, not belonging to anything.

All things being equal, you're better off with a list than a numerical var. With a list of players, you have more options--you can quickly use it to loop through player mobs, send a message just to players instead of the world, etc.
var/list/players=list()

mob
  Login()
    ..()
    players+=src

  Logout()
    players-=src
    ..()

  Del()
    players-=src  // just a failsafe in case Logout() doesn't do it
    ..()

No, because you weren't asking for help debugging existing code.
