Description
What, another AFK manager? Not really, this one checks client`s buttons activity rather than checking his world and eye positions every given period of time. This method appears to be much more reliable than that usual one.

What exactly this plugin can do?
Move AFKs to Spectators team; kick AFKs only if the server is almost full; warn players if they will be kicked/moved soon

Cvars:
tf2_sheoafk_manager_version - version cvar
sm_sheoafk_free_slots_before_kick - How many slots should left on the server when AFK manager starts kicking spectators. (def: 4)
sm_sheoafk_seconds_before_spec - How many seconds to wait before spectating an afk player. (def: 60.0)
sm_sheoafk_seconds_before_kick - How many seconds to wait before kicking an afk spectator. This counts from the moment the player joins spectator team. (def: 120.)
sm_sheoafk_seconds_before_warn - How many seconds before kick/spec a player should be warned about oncoming action. (def: 15.0)
sm_sheoafk_ignore_admins - Set to 1 to ignore admins. This does not include the native and forwards, they are working for all players. (def: 0)

Additionally:
The plugin adds some new target filters for other plugins
@afk/@afks - everyone who is marked as AFK
@notafk/@notafks/@active - everyone who is in game and not marked as AFK
Also it provides some useful functions for other plugins. Look into .inc file for more info.

Requirements:
SourceMod 1.5 or higher + translation file (attached)

Installation:
1) Put the plugin to your plugins folder
2) Put afk_manager.txt to your translations folder
3) Set up cvars values in your server.cfg if wanted

Why can`t I edit plugin description and version fields? It simply ignores all my changes

You could use...

if (GetEngineVersion() != Engine_TF2)

instead of...

if (GetAppID() != 440)

.

I also believe that even then, this should work with a good number of games since I think the 'Player_Team' event is in a good number of them.

Also, since SDKTools is needed for it, you might want to upload an SMX compiled for people to download.

One more thing, You might want to change the plugin name to not confuse people since the plugin name here is the same.

True that, but GetAppID was a completed snippet, so i just copypasted it instead of looking through engine enums. Actually, there is no any harm if i open a file to detect a game.

Also true, but TF2 is the only game i play that needs afk managers, i don`t want to make plugins for games i can`t maintain. You know, in any other game there may be completely different system of game joining/team switching.

Oops, thank you for the remind

Does it actually confuse them? More over, it`s good, because they won`t occasionally run two afk managers together

Well, your plugin would work well regardless since most games have that event and it's the only hook you use that could mean make it or break it for other games. You would just have to look up if the mod has that event and role with it but I can see where you're coming from.

I made a similar AFK detecting plugin; I was working on making it suitable for public release. I guess you beat me to it lol.

In my plugin, I also reset a player's afk time based on commands; you may want to consider placing calls to OnClientButtonsChanged(client) within a command listener, like this.

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart() {
    AddCommandListener(CommandListener);
}

public Action:CommandListener(client, const String:strCommand[], iArgs) {
    OnClientButtonsChanged(client);
}

All calls for timer reset except buttons pressing/releasing were not added intentionally. As you can see, this plugin even does not check your mouse movements

[ddhoward]

I figured that was because the other methods (eye angles, player position) could be interfered with by other players, teleporters, etc. AFAIK, it's not possible for a regular player to force another player to run a command. ;)

Whats the point of keeping executing console commands without actually playing?

Trade servers where not moving but still using the chat is acceptable.
