How to detect if player is in menu/tabbed ? - Phil_Cutcliffe - 03.02.2014

I have one problem with my gang capture zones. When a player is in the menu or tabbed out of the game they can remain in the checkpoint and capture the zone. How can I detect if they are in the menu or tabbed out - How can I prevent this? Any examples would be great! I've been scripting my GM for nearly 2 years and I can't remember whether I put in an AFK system but I'm pretty sure I didn't and this is the standard thing with SA-MP.

Would it be PLAYER_STATE_NONE?

It's simple - OnPlayerUpdate callback don't get called when the player is paused. So you could calculate whether player is AFK or not by running a timer and checking if OnPlayerUpdate was called or not at that interval and declare whether the player was AFK or not.

Ahhh I see. Any chance of an example?

EDIT: Not to worry my brain is alive again I know what to do... I've been having too many brain farts lately but thankyou very much for your help.

Here's my AutoAFK detector which has been created as an include for my personal use a long time ago. However, I've just added it on GitHub now and you can use it in case if you want.

You can use either the callbacks - OnPlayerPause and OnPlayerResume or IsPlayerPaused function which would return true if paused and false if not paused.

There might be better AFK detectors, I used this for my personal use before. It works well though.

EDIT: Thanks again for the help I did +rep you

EDIT2:

pawn Код:

forward PauseCheck();
public PauseCheck()
{
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
        {
            if(OnPlayerUpdate(i) == 0)
            {
                PlayerPaused[i] = 1;
            }
            if(OnPlayerUpdate(i) == 1)
            {
                PlayerPaused[i] = 0;
            }
        }
    }
}

EDIT: Thank you very much for sharing your include it works perfectly!

Ok I still have one problem.. Everything works fine BUT when a player tabs he is still in god mode. And when I use your OnPlayerPause to kill them if they're in a capture zone it doesn't work until they tab back into game. I need it to work straight away.

EDIT: All sorted now I figured a perfect way to do it
