Afk

[thepoetwarrior]

I already use global_player.pl file recording their XYZ and re-checking after timer is up with +/- X distance from previous recorded position, then popup window that if they click yes it cancels and restarts the timer else if you dont click popup within X minutes it logs you off.

Interesting idea bout making players type random string to prove not a bot or still at keyboard.

Is it possible to spawn an NPC from the player.pl? I'm not sure if its possible for a player to just say the random text without an NPC targetted.

Turning this unpopular afk script into a 0.1% trigger event would be a neat idea, to have an event. By looking at player flags the event could even be scaled to their tier.

Thanks for the ideas, and still looking for more

It's possible to check that from a script (I know Akkadius did it at one point), and as far as I know you can check player's text via player.pl. I haven't messed with perl in forever sadly, though there may be some player.pl examples scattered around. I'll see what I can dig up about that feature.

edit: this should work as player.pl:

sub EVENT_SAY {
$client->Message(13, "You have said something!");
if($text =~ /match/i)
{
$client->Message(13, "You have said something that matches!");
}
}

if i remember correctly, dalaya sends you a pop-up with text in a random color and you have to respond with the name of that color to verify you're not running macros whilst fishing and such. also requires that you move from your location after a handful of casts because you've fished that spot out. not sure if they do that all via script or if it's hard-coded, but they have a number of things like that.
