(See this topic for why this plugin exists)

What it does
Sends players that stay at the exact same coordinates for 45 seconds into the spectator team.
Meant to prevent idling/inactive players from sitting in the same place and taking up a slot in the team, or stalling a round of arena.

Install
Download the attached .gml file, and put it into your Plugins folder
Server side plugin (will work for hosts, but joining players will not have any effect on the server)
Built for 2.9.2

Code: (Source) [Select]

globalvar AFKChecker;
AFKChecker = id;

TIME_FRAMES = 45 * 30;

object_event_add(Character, ev_create, 0, '
    AFKChecker_afktimer = 0;
');

object_event_add(Character, ev_step, ev_step_end, '
    if (global.isHost) {
        if (variable_local_exists("x_previous"))
        if (x == x_previous) && (y == y_previous) {
            AFKChecker_afktimer += 1 * global.delta_factor;
            if (AFKChecker_afktimer > AFKChecker.TIME_FRAMES) {
           
           
                if(player.object != -1)
                {
                    if (!instance_exists(lastDamageDealer) || lastDamageDealer == player)

Why are you checking to see if the variable x_previous exists when GM has aliases for your previous x and y positions (xprevious and yprevious respectively). Also, wouldn't it be a little counterintuitive to run this if the server has chat? With that tiny timeframe I mean.

exact same coordinates

what's stopping someone from using a script to move a pixel or jump every few seconds?

Being sane enough to not make a script to not get AFK kicked from an empty server.

Nothing, but that also fools the built-in afk kick, so it's not worse than that

Oh, I thought x_previous actually was the built-in, and that it didn't work sometimes for wonky GM reasons. I just updated the code to change that.

I don't think so, the plugin doesn't kick, it just forces you into spectator team, which is what the game is supposed to do anyway. You don't want someone in your team to stay idle for 30 seconds or more.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it

I just reverted the plugin code to do that again. xprevious and yprevious only differ from x and y during event_step_normal, which means that's the only event in which I can destroy a Character to put them into spectator team. However, destroying a Character in normal step event causes an error with quote's bubbles (and possibly other projectiles), and I don't quite yet understand how bubbles are destroyed when their owner dies. It looks like the bubbles are destroyed if they're more than 160 pixels away from their owner, so if there's no owner the distance is infinite which destroys them? I'm really unsure.
