I was playing and thinking...
I know there is a plugin, you face wall and are protected , marked as afk.

But I didnt like that too much

Maybe someone can create a plugin that you type !afk in chat, and you're frozen, and your player blinks red or w/e color you set the cvar to be.

The only thing is, I think people can abuse this and always use !afk to be immune when about to die, maybe someone can come up with an idea to fix that?

Whats the purpose of it though? I personally wouldnt want people sitting afk on our servers, id rather have them moved to spec or kicked.

Also, I dont think people are going to type a trigger to go afk, they will more likely just go afk...

For the last part, its not that hard to code, I just dont really see the point. Youre saying you want people to be able to go afk in middle of battle field? Thats pretty overpowered imo.

Sorry should have put in more detail...
Only admins can use it.
And only if server has less than X players it will work, otherwise it will say something like... "Sorry, server has too much players to use this right now"

just giving rough ideas.

A better idea is to just have !afk move the player to spec (so they don't have to go through the daunting task of killing themselves and choosing spectator). I too struggle to see the purpose of having afks hanging around the warzone.

If a server has below X people, wouldnt you want players to stay afk to help fill it up until it reaches x people to kick them out??
