So I had this great idea, to warn people for when I go afk. If I don't put forth any input for a certain amount of time, then my system would automatically emote my character drifting off to sleep/hibernation. The thing is, how can I make something tirgger off of any input? Is it possible? O_o

One of the easiest ways for you would be probably to make use of the timeout warning to do your emote.

What Vadi said. But probably want the trigger to disable itself after the first time so that eventually you will get AFK'd out of the game.

Hmm, those are both good ideas smile.gif Thanks!

if timeout == 1 then
send("emote 's head begins to loll slowly to the left, then the right, then slumps slightly downward and his eyes gently close.")
timeout = 2
elseif timeout == 2 then
send("emote snores softly.")
timeout = 3
elseif timeout == 3 then
send("snore")
timeout = 4
end

Yeah just remember to set timeout to 1 to begin with somewhere appropriate!

Made one for mushclient before it crashed and I had to recode my latest changes.
