Bread Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) What are you suggesting? - We add the "Player Status Icons" to the server - it's a very light script that can show if a player is: AFK, In spawn-menu, In main menu, Is Alt-Tabbed, or is timing out. How would this change better the server? - Would be primarily helpful to detect players who are AFK, or are crashing/timing out. Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. - Nothing as far as I can tell. It works fine on my testing server that emulates our server's tickrate, and all the code related to the addon is in the drop box below for any SMT who'd like to look through it. Who would this change mostly benefit? - The server. Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2002082140 Code for the Addon: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/roi8x64qh1qda50/AAA-0GQTjXKIdaT94JXSyivYa?dl=0 Edited January 16, 2021 by Bread lol, lmao even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Fireman Guy Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 +Support Would be useful for Staff and Command to see if someone's AFK for too long/tabbed out. As well as help determine if someone is walking past the blue line or had a lag spike and accidentally walked past it (Just a Example) Overall would be a beneficial addition to the server.

Rito Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 +/- Support While yes, it is a really great idea, and a way for command and Staff, It would appear on cloaked people's head if they tab out for example, while being invisible. I could also see some other problems like that aswell.

Coltable Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 -Support As it stands I’m a little confused on why we would need this? We want people to afk on the server, that will never change and people who afk cause little to no lag as they aren’t putting any strain on the server. I’m also not sure if this script would cause lag itself as surely by it checking the players status every second that in its self would cause lag as it’s continuously updating. Overall I just don’t see the point of the addon I mean it’s cool..? But just why if we had a current issue where afk players was a big problem sure then yes but we don’t.

This addon isn't meant specifically for finding users that are AFK. Primarily, that would only be for jobs that people shouldn't be AFK on. Its mostly used to help get other useful information, where we can tell if they're timing out, and other specific situations. I included the code so Igneous/Zeeptin could look over it themselves to see if it would lag the server, but I couldn't find anything that constantly checks serverside, as most of it seems to be clientside with a serverside enabler needed.
