| What the title says. Search hasn't helped me, and I want something for making a safe idling timer.
For example, the timer would look at the amount of time since the last triggered or typed-in command, and if that time exceeds a certain amount (15 minutes or so) it would input something like "save;afk".
Any advice?
Thanks in advance. | | Top |

| I looked at that one, but it seemed like it wasn't automatic--ie. you had to manually set the timer on or off. I'm trying to make a plugin that IS automatic, ie. it knows how long since you've entered a command, and it sets you AFK when that time is past a certain amount.
Or does that plugin you wrote do just that?
Thanks. | | Top |

| | It looks pretty automatic to me, once the plugin is enabled... The plugin takes care of managing the timer for you, you don't have to do it yourself. |

| It would be hardly much use if you had to manually do it, would it?
The important part is here:
-- when they type something, reset AFK status
function OnPluginCommand (sText)
FixTimer ()
return true -- process the command
end
Every time you enter a command it resets the timer. Thus effectively it remembers the time of the last command. If you don't enter a command for the desired period then the timer fires and sends the required message to the MUD. |
