Hey guys,

I'm working on creating an inactive player feature for the server. The idea is to have a UI pop up if a player has been standing still and inactive for 3 minutes, asking if they are still there. However, I'm having trouble figuring out how to detect if a player has been inactive for those 3 minutes. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how I can implement this feature?

Thanks for your help!

Cannot Specify Searched Event

Multiple possible events: vehicle moves, player item takes damage, player clicks in inventory.

Hmm.

#

!e entity moves

!e player steps

# wheat spade !e player steps
Event: player steps on block
Group

Player

**WARNING**

This event may fire very rapidly.

Event Lines

player steps on block player steps on <material>

Triggers

when a player steps onto a specific block material.

Has Player

Always. - this adds switches flagged:<flag name> + permission:<node>, in addition to the <player> link.

Context

<context.location> returns a LocationTag of the block the player is stepping on.
<context.previous_location> returns a LocationTag of where the player was before stepping onto the block.
<context.new_location> returns a LocationTag of where the player is now.

Has Known Location

True - this adds switches in:<area> + location_flagged:<flag name>.

Cancellable

True - this adds <context.cancelled> and determines cancelled + cancelled:false.

Will have to listen to the player moving around, clicking on blocks, chatting, etc.

So check if previous location == new location , if yes wait for 3 mins and then do the necessary UI pop?

Sounds right, maybe a last_active flag or something so you can check how long it's been since they've been considered 'active'. Damaging other entities themself, interacting with inventories or blocks, etc.

I have a timer and use a flag with

#

!t last_player_action

Possible Confusion

Did you mean to search for entitytag.last_interaction?

weak mica
#

!t last_action

dense beaconBOT

#

Oh is that a thing?

#

That's so much easier.

So sorry for the delay in response. But the logic is, check if previous_location == new_location; if yes, wait for 3 minutes and then do the necessary functions?

I'd have to test how this would look like, would it show 3 mins?

wheat spade
#

It'll return a timetag.

#

So you'll probably want to to

#

!t timetag.from_now

dense beaconBOT
# wheat spade !t timetag.from_now
Tag: <TimeTag.from_now>

Returns the DurationTag between this time object and the real current system time.
The value will always be positive.
This is equivalent to the absolute value of ".duration_since[<util.time_now>]", and exists primarily as a convenience tag.
For example, a TimeTag for Tuesday will return a DurationTag of '1d' when the tag is used on a Monday.
A TimeTag for Sunday will also return a DurationTag of '1d' when used on a Monday.
If positive/negative differences are required, consider instead using !tag TimeTag.duration_since.

Returns

DurationTag
