Sala296 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Suggestion Name: /AFK command to make player AFK.Suggestion Description: Allow users to type /afk in chat and that makes them afk. With a bit more detail, it should either; A). Make the truck No Collision & 50% Opacity, OR . Teleport the truck to side of road & put hazard/indicator light on, OR C). Both of the above. In addition to this it should, increase the amount of time it takes to auto kick you, or not kick you at all. I have made a related suggestion that has drawn alot of attention here Something else that would be important is to make sure the driver cannot drive off with there truck in this mode, so should automaticly remove /AFK mode upon driving.Any example images: None. Why should it be added?: It will allow users to be AFK and do some quick IRL things like; get a drink, grab a snack, or check their social media (Not IRL, but...). I have had many times when i have finished a long journey and wanted a drink, but come back just to see that i have been kicked. It is a bit of a nuisance to leave the game to re-join.

RedBull108 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It is a goo suggestion, but anyway, now since the server has up to 4000 slots i think not kicking AFK players at all wouldn't be a problem anyway. Just today i parked my truck, i went to eat something and when i came back i was kicked and when i relogged i was also banned for intentional ramming (WTH!!). I was in a gas station parking so i have no idea what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonutter69 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 What is wrong with parking safely and briefly quitting the game? (Preferably in a non collision zone) The time would be the same anyway as it's server time so staying in game or exiting for a few minutes would make no difference?

Crazyforiphone Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 They are planning to make non collisions zones, a command is really pointless and teleporting trucks causes some lag on the server, I could see many people abusing the command to.

Miles! Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 +1 for this. I personally don't like having to leave the game becuase of Forceeconomyreset cancelling my delviery so I have to finish it before I can go AFK. This would help alot or something along the lines of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorkal1ty Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It´s a -1 in here but not cause of the suggestion being useless, I just prefer the gas-stations or hotels being AFK zones where we can park (with collisions on imo) and stay for longer times afk to make all those things you said. Teleporting would cause lots of issues and well... I dont understand all those drivers who cant get 5 mins more to find a truck-stop to park and instead, they leave the truck in the middle of nowhere near the road. Is that serious? not in my opinion. I hope devs bring us those afk areas soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master12 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 -1. It seems that the multiplayer is getting more and more pampered with small add-ons to trucking. Some features are just not needed at all. You can park safely without doing any of those things. Make the truck a "No Collision Truck?" That's not realistic. I doubt the administration would allow that, as they try to make the game as realistic as possible (Mention the "no auto park") Just park on the emergency lanes, and if you hit someone just accept your fate like the truckers in real life do.

Akupunktur Necmettin Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 -1 for this command, but +1 for idea behind: Not being kicked while parked properly. We really need to get rid of auto kick, all truckstops are as empty as haunted house! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockking Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 i'm torn on it. having a seperate command...not entirely useful. BUT if i put my tuck in a non collision zone, then i shouldnt get kicked for being away. unless server load is in excess of say 80% or something. so overall going to go +1 on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 -1 People that park on the side of the road is good enough to show that you're AFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
