Title: Feature : idle message
Post by: prozajik on February 20, 2011, 05:52:00 PM

Regarding to Narga post about bot taking control while typing, i have got this idea. If there is a player of team who is idling, there should be a message visible to everyone. Something like "idle 10" but instead of switching obs it writes message about idling Sometimes in match i would appreciate because mates can be slow so i dont grab on idle. Sure you can grab its their problem but lets think fair now :)

Problem is, how do you tell the difference between an idle player and somebody who is active, but not moving?

I guess my point is, if it were that easy to detect idle players, why not just bump them into observer faster?  If I just check for input stopping, then every time somebody stops for a second, they'll get an icon above their head.  It's not going to be any easier for the game to tell that somebody's idle than it is for a player.  If a guy is just standing there... is he idle?

No, maybe he writes a chat message. That can be more than 10 seconds. If i would be obs then and re-join, i have to wait the whole elim time to play again.
