I am looking for a good anti idle script. I have a HUD that works well for anti idle, but I would like a script or something that I can put in any attachment and effective turn it into an anti idle device. Thanks! :)

You don't need one. Unchecking Client>Character>Tests>Go Away/AFK when idle will do it for you.

Camping etc. is considered anti-social by most. At least this way you're not adding a script load as well.

if your going to be a zombie, then please do not use a script to do something your client will do automatically. Eloise explained ti above.

At least this way you can be ''green'' about camping even though it woud be cheaper to turn your PC off when not using it, and just buy a few linden each month.

Thanks, Eloise for the client tip! That will come in handy. Although, I would still like a script for this to suit my purposes. And, even though it really shouldn't matter, my intentions for this script have nothing to do with camping or the like. So, if anyone can help, please do. Thanks.

Then you should post your request in the products wanted forum, rather than this scripting tips forum. Scripting tips is a forum to:

"Discuss techniques, ask questions about using Second Life scripting tools,"

...not a shopping mall for custom scripts. If you can't find it in the Scripting Library , then ask for it just as you would ask for any other product, in the Products Wanted Forum . Thanks.

is there a real need for idling?
11-11-2006 23:28
is there a real application in LSL for uninterruptible idling? can't all that be done with timers and multiple states? are people using idling to simulate a busy wait? what's the story?

i'm suspicious of architectures that use a single big loop around everything. i know that's popular in certain design quarters in SL. it has also been used in certain avionics architectures. it has problems.

sure, event-driven systems are more complicated to design and build. but they also grow better if done properly.

to the OP.. I've sent you the anti-idle script I have, in world. Unfortunately it's no-mod. My understanding is that it works be making it impossible to run the "away" animation. Since the client starts counting once the "away" mode is entered.. kicking the av out of "away" mode periodically will actually convince the client that you're not away anymore.

Amazing how it works.

But.. for those wanting to idle.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just use the menu trick. It works far better than scripts and huds (and the old xml editing trick), doesn't add to the server's process load.. AND it works in "no scripts" areas like certain casinos.

1. [CTRL] - [ALT] - [D]
2. Client > Character > Character Tests > Go Away/AFK When Idle (if there's an X.. remove it)

does that work to prevent afk/away state while SL is minimized?
