How can I setup a rule to validate the winner(s)?

I'm creating a multiplayer game. But I can't seem to figure out how to validate the winner(s).

The case:

• Multiplayer game with up to 4 players.
• Player with the highest score will be anounced as the winner.

The tricky part:

• Scores can be the same.
• Sometimes there can be one, two, three or even four winners.

Anyone got an idea how to setup a rule to figure out which player(s) will be getting a medal?

just make a bunch of rules checking each possible outcome, it may be time consuming, but it works!

Is this the only way?
If I'm correct, i would have 15 possible outcomes.
That's a lot of rules for one function.

Not the answer i hoped for, but i went ahead and made xx rules for each outcome to make it work.

If attribute game.player1Score = max(game.player1Score, game.player2Score, game.player3Score, game.player4Score) then
     Change Attribute game.winningPlayer (text) to "Player 1"

If attribute game.player2Score = max(game.player1Score, game.player2Score, game.player3Score, game.player4Score) then
     Change Attribute game.winningPlayer (text) to "Player 2"

If attribute game.player3Score = max(game.player1Score, game.player2Score, game.player3Score, game.player4Score) then
     Change Attribute game.winningPlayer (text) to "Player 3"

If attribute game.player4Score = max(game.player1Score, game.player2Score, game.player3Score, game.player4Score) then
     Change Attribute game.winningPlayer (text) to "Player 4"

You'll have to decide what to do in the case of ties. You might want to use booleans for each player's win outcome (game.player1Wins) instead of text attributes, for example, and then display a message/medal based on the value of each boolean.
