Is Player There?

Hi!
I need help... I have a set of 32 switches with 3 cels. They are made so that you can look through the eyes of other players. Now, how do I do so that if a Player is there (not there as in Thing 4 = Walkplayer but active, someones using Thing 4) a switch's cel is set to 1, and when you activate a switch with cel 1, it will become cel 2 and you see through the eyes of that player.

Im getting rusty, but it problably has somthing to do with "GetPlayerNumber"(sp), the verb that gets the PlayerID of a specific thing number. If it returns a -1, the player is not ingame, and once can assume that all the rest of the slots are unalloted as well.
