Request - AFK kicker

[Psycho]

Today I was playing on our clan server, and I came to notice there were one or two people being afk.
I would like a script that could remove theese players from the game (move them to spectator or kicking them)

I know people are being automatically kicked after a while, but when there is a 5 vs 4 and 1 guy on the team with 4 is AFK, you dont wanna wait 5-10 minutes for that to happen.

So what the /kick afk (or whatever) would do, is to kick everyone who has being standing still for a certain amount of time.
Could also be /spec afk to set them as spectators so they can resume playing when they get back.

I know you can also move them there manually, but that is kind of more time consuming than you would sometimes like it to be.

There isn't a reliable way to detect when someone is AFK from inside the scripting engine.

Not that it's not possible, but it's not reliable.

[Psycho]

Perhaps in a scripting core update?

[Ride]

You wait.. 1 -2 minutes at most

Dunno why u just cant spec them or remove them urself

[Psycho]

It takes way beyond 1-2 minutes, and as I said, I want to be able to perform a quick command instead of minimizing into ARSSE or finding out the players numbers so I can move him to spec.

Doing it by name is also a problem when their names are @1337@%£NINJA][[]®

you could make something around that :

POSITION : array[1..MAXPLAYERS] of single;
AFKTIME : array[1..MAXPLAYERS] of byte;

Init the arrays to 0

In ApponIdle You check every 10 seconds for example and :

for i:= 1 to MAXPLAYERS do begin
  if GetPlayerXY(i,X,Y) = POSITION then AFKTIME := AFKTIME + 10; // position didn t change, we increase AFKTIME
  else AFKTIME := 0;
  POSITION := GetPlayerXY(i,X,Y); //getting new positions
end;

if AFKTIME > 120 then KickPlayer(i);

well you get the idea

Ingame, type /, then hit F1, and you can see the player number of every player, no need to alt tab into ARSSE. You should be able to find their number by the time you type "setteam5 ".

The basic idea might work, although what you wrote definitely won't.

[mar77a]

Suggestion: can you make the fixed 5 minutes idle-kick a setting in server.ini?

Yeah i know what i wrote doesn t work directly... i just wanted to show the idea, that s easy enough for people to complete it anyway

Bye bye snipers? Take kills and chat into account.

[Psycho]

Snipers do atlest move their crosshairs and interact some with their keyboard and mouse.

OnPlayerKill -> AFKTIME[Killer] := 0
OnPlayerSpeak -> AFKTIME[ID] := 0

Date Posted: December 16, 2007, 07:11:50 pmand the version without Onplayerkill and onplayerspeak can be used for campers kicking in option ;p

[KwS Pall]

but campers usually lie on the ground and afkers stay, so you should check if the player lie or stand on the ground...

[Psycho]

OnPlayerShoot -> AFKTIME[Killer] := 0 ?

I dont know feck about scripting, but that should be possible

[Boblekonvolutt]

Should but isn't.

[mxyzptlk]

but campers usually lie on the ground and afkers stay, so you should check if the player lie or stand on the ground...

No, because AFKers who know they'll be AFK prone to avoid being killed.

[DorkeyDear]

but campers usually lie on the ground and afkers stay, so you should check if the player lie or stand on the ground...

besides, not detectable as far as i know via soldat scripting

[KwS Pall]

yes Curt u r right, you can only check if the player is on the ground...

[Boblekonvolutt]

Anyway, if a player doesn't move, speak, shoot, does damage, kills, interacts with flag, switches weapon, use jets, throw nades, change direction, change teams or uses a command in a couple of minutes, he's probably afk... I think a script like it would be pretty wasted though. Just do it yourself, or let players vote.
