[feature] Kick on AFK

[The_Game_Master]

Hello,

i['m trying to create a custom feature so you will be kicked from the server instead logging out of your account when the AFK flag expires.

More info about AFK can be found here. http://www.wowwiki.com/AFK

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I searched the source but there are too many AFK entryes.

In Player.cpp, bool Player::ToggleAFK() (line 1577) change the function to:

bool Player::ToggleAFK()
{
   ToggleFlag(PLAYER_FLAGS, PLAYER_FLAGS_AFK);

   bool state = HasFlag(PLAYER_FLAGS, PLAYER_FLAGS_AFK);

   // afk player not allowed in battleground
   if(state && InBattleGround())
       LeaveBattleground();
   if(state)
       GetSession()->KickPlayer();

   return state;
}

no, logout AFK more long that plain AFK mark set. As i know this is client side feature, client send logout request after some delay. Maybe client use some specific flag in packet for like glogout request and then you can use it for kick instead logout call.

I want the character to be logged out from his account, all the way to the login screen.

I don't know if a message like this "You've been logged out from your account due to ..." exits, so i'll use kick from account instead. Offcourse a more proper message would be welcomed.

Patman128, your ideea is to auto kick on afk, that's not a very good solution.

Oh, what you are recommending is actually a client-side feature, like vladimir said. You'd have to re-implement it server-side and then put in what you want.

Let's do it in another way. Let's kick users that only stay on the login screen more then 5 minutes.

I know mangos keeps tracks of them and should not be hard to implement.

That should be - in fact- blizzlike:

# You'll be logged off and sent to the character selection screen if you are AFK for 30 minutes.

# You'll be disconnected from the server if you remain at the character selection screen for 30 minutes.

(a config option would be nice)

While you're at it, don't forget to include an exception for GMs. I actually wish that AFK could be disabled completely for GMs. There are times when I'm not actually playing for extended periods because of work I'm doing with the server console or database but, I need to remain logged in to keep an eye on things.
