Hey guys i didnt want to make 2 topics so ill just ask 2 questions here if thats ok.

1.

ColorChat( 0, RED, "");

Can i make a variable i can use instead of RED in this case, i tried some things but i didn't succeed.
Example:

COLOR=RED  ColorChat( 0, COLOR, "");

2. What is the best way to detect an afk ( while somewhat still simple, for a newbie like me )

Thanks in advance

for 1, look at client_print_color, a function added in 1.8.3
here you can use yellow, green and either team color or any of grey / red / blue (but not multiple ones in the same sentence)
it does it by faking the team of a client for a moment while showing the message

for no 2, one way (that I use) is to mark all clients as g_hasmoved[id] = false at spawn
then

const ButtonBits = ( IN_FORWARD | IN_BACK | IN_MOVELEFT | IN_MOVERIGHT | IN_JUMP);
register_forward(FM_CmdStart , "fw_FMCmdStart");

public fw_FMCmdStart( id , handle , seed )
    if ( get_uc( handle , UC_Buttons ) & ButtonBits )
        g_hasmoved[id] = true;

this will only mark player as not afk once one of those keys has been pressed (wasd or space)

Checking each second seems much better than doing it per frame. Do you really need such precision for an afk manager plugin?

I need precision in my particular scenario as it is possible to miss <1s key states because of lag, and it's a jailbreak server where usually players are forced to stop moving very early in the round (before the afk slaying is done) so I can't afford to miss any key press

I forgot to mention however that the forward must be unregistered after the afk state of all players is checked (like 30 seconds into the round or something) and then registered again at new round

If you know any better failproof solution, please post it

I appear to be using amxx 1.4 something O.o How is that even possible i downloaded it this year.

Is that method server heavy ? I dont really need that much precision its for a deathrun server mostly.

Also is it possible to detect it again, once they have moved from the spawn ?

1.4?!!!!?!!? That version doesn't even exist in the official download site. If you're talking about AMXX Studio's version, that has nothing with AMXX's version itself.

For the color, you can do new Color:iColor = RED. If you aren't using AMXX 1.8.3, I suggest you switch to a better colorchat stock, you can use mine for example.

Yeap its the studio, 1.6 is the amxmodx. I really dont think i should be switching at the mmoment because im still learning but thank you.

Anyone else has a good method of detecting afk if the one above isnt good for some reason?

[CrazY.]

You're very late... already there is the 1.8.2 version, and the most recent is the 1.8.3...

Why are you still using that "turtle" version?

If you really are running AMXX 1.6 (and I doubt it, I think you've mistaken something), then you should definitely switch. That version is like 12 years old.

Ok no problem ill switch it up I dont know how tho ahahhaha, i literraly downloaded it this year xD
