Ok, guys.

I have a new one for you guys. The mud i play on, doesn't like scripts that keep people from going idle. They have an idle time time out of 30 minutes. And some of the scripts i currently use, unfortnally as a side effect keep me from going idle. So what i would like to make is a script that well monitor my idle time, and about 5-10 minutes if i'm idle that long, will just disconnect me from my mud. Is this possible to write up? Ive been looking but i havn't see anything that would possibly be used to monitor idle time, cept for maybe %line.

Thanks for the help,
Phanku

I just tested this out and it works for the Mud I play on, there is probably a more elegant method of doing this but here is my offering (simply paste into the command line of zMud and hit enter)

The first trigger (#oninput) records the time that you last used your keyboard to issue a command to the zMud main window, the second (#alarm) checks every 10 minutes to determin whether you have input anything to the zMud main window from the keyboard and if you haven't it disconnects you from the Mud.

#oninput {*} {#VARIABLE Last_Active {%time( hhnn)}}

#alarm {-10:00} {#VARIABLE Time {%time( hhnn)};#MATH Idle_Time {@Time-@Last_Active};#IF (@Idle_Time>=10) {#DI}}

Good luck ;-)
