Default AFK Is Turning Characters Into Shadowed Men

Hello,

I looked all through the rules within the DB for a flag that might cause this, but I cannot find anything. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks for any help!

That's a pretty broad statement...

Literal shadowed men? Or just invis to players?

If a character sits idle enough (Guild Lobby), they go AFK and then literally turn into a Shadowed Man. Shows up when I do a /who and all I see are whatever items they are holding..just like a Shadowed Man. This is on the latest version of eqemu.

Hah...

Sounds like it would be a script doing this. Are you just using the standard PEQ stuff?

I sure am. I thought that as well, but didn't find anything. I will watch the behavior today and let you know if I come up with anything else.

Personally, I have not heard of this behavior before .. are we sure that the client itself is not doing this? Do they return to normal upon any movement?

So in your player.pl file in the guildlobby folder you will see this code:

Code:
sub EVENT_ENTERZONE {
quest::settimer("afk_check", 1200); #20 minutes
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {
elsif($timer eq "afk_check") {
		#I have been idle, go auto-afk and don't draw model
		$client->Message(4, "You are idle, Auto-AFK");
		if ($client->GetPetID()) {
			$Pet_ENT = $entity_list->GetMobByID($client->GetPetID());
			$Pet_ENT->SetRace(127);
		}
		$client->SetRace(127);
		$client->SetGender(0);
		quest::stoptimer("afk_check");
	}
}
This is just a snippet of what is causing this. Hash/Comment out the timer in EVENT_ZONE and that will no longer happen.

Cheers!

Haha. I had the "same feeling" when I first saw the OP, but nah,
I had more fun sitting back and watching the thread go by.
