To get a list of all player-controlled units: _allPlayers = []; { if (isPlayer _x) then { _allPlayers pushBack _x; }; } forEach playableUnits;

playableUnits will not return dead players, use allPlayers instead.

Using the Editor (multiplayer attributes) for unchecking "enable AI", or disabling AI(s) in lobby, will make playableUnits as a public variable, updated by each JIP on disabled slot. So, if all slots are disabled AI, playableUnits is same as allPlayers
Furthermore, in this case, non-played slot (playable and disabled AI) units simply don't exist!
i.e. If you name 8 playable units: u1..u8, then 2 players in game: u3 & u6
playableUnits will return [u3,u6], and true for isNil "u1", isNil "u2"... until another player takes the slot.
