I want a plugin that will time how long a player is in spectate and kick them after an alloted amount of time * excluding those with admin powers* that way i can keep the server full of players that actually want to play:D :D :D :D i want this to be like an afk kick but for spectate mode i dont need ppl in my server taking up slots when they r not going to play

man if there is , let me know , I cant stand people who sit in spectate all day and never leave.rnrnthough the ones I find the worst are the ones who go afk in spectate on 1 map and then stay there all day , but are not actually "IN" spectate and you cant kick them.

nnnreally??nnive never noticed any problem kicking afks after mapchanges..nnwhat you mean 'technically they r not in game yet' ?? im pretty sure they are considered 'spectators' before they join a team.. nnand also i just checked it with someone on my server... and doing rcon users they show up.. so wouldnt rcon kick userid work just fine?nnjust seems odd.. ive never noticed any trouble kicking someone cause they were afk when a map changed...

Yeah, same here. Even if they go spec and you change the map, I'm still able to kick them. Theres only those few times when it's a custom map and you see them in spec, but they're not considered in the game because they're downloading the map.

on my server I`ll see this 5 in spectate , now when the map changes , if they are still afk and they dont click the button that says allies/axis or spectate , you`ll see 5 names listed under spectate , but you`ll see it says 0 spectators with 5 names under it in yellow , you go to amxx_kick menu and their names don`t show up because they are not actually IN game , just on the server , but not IN the actual game.rnrnI use an AFK kicker and I have it set for 10 minutes , just incase someone has to go to the potty , but in spectate they don`t get kicked by it.

when u go into a server and the server info screen pops up and u have to click ok to select ur team this is where afk people sit when the map switches and for some reason they dont show in the amx kick menue i dont know if this is just in my server or what but its like having a ghost player in the server they r taking up a spot and not playingrnrnan rcon command wont work either it just says "no player by that name"

the only time i notice stuff like that is when the player isnt really there.. but just their name shows on the scoreboard (but the player count shows that he isnt really there) ....at least thats for me.. like i said.. ive never had trouble kicking someone who was actually afk after map change
