kick those afk(er)!

[akuzaid93]

how can i kick any player that doesn't really play by entering a chat string just like in dota?

 

[Whoareyou.]

Just do

• Events
  • Player 1 (Red) types a chat message -kick Blue
  • Conditions
  • Actions
  • Game - Defeat for Blue with the message Red Kicked You!

But the tricky part comes with detecting if they are AFK or not

 

[akuzaid93]

so, what's the solution? I mean, they can be really noob that he just wander around rather than afk(ing), right?

 

[Whoareyou.]

Idk :/ I don't see any afking stuff.

make a timer, if there is no action within 3 minuets kick them automaticly

how do i check if there are no action?

Check for their current order. Whenever it is stop or hold position, start a timer. Then detect when the unit receives a different order. If the timer runs out before it takes another order, kick them.

Why not start a timer for a player when a unit is issued any order, and reset it to its initial duration whenever they issue any other order? Then when the timer goes off, kick them.

you may share control or setup orders and this checks will fail.

I doubt there's a full and complete way to detect people that are afk, so I guess issued order is the closest. I believe DotA is somewhat the same. You can also reset the timer when the player selects something. Though I'd recommend use of hashtables as a timer instead, so that when a player types -kick player you can check if the value is greater than 300 seconds then kick it, else do nothing.

Yeah, Patrol would ruin this system.

if there are no other option, the timer will do best.
