A lot of spamming in the chat and bossbar + action bar are not working.

[Frederick-huizinga]

Hi,

I just installed the 'AntiAFK' plugin and I was testing some things on how it works. I created the following config;

# ================================== #
#           MAIN AFK SYSTEM          #
# ================================== #

# Max AFK time before punishments occur (short for testing)
max_afk_time: "1m"

# Warnings for the player BEFORE the punishment
warnings:
  - time: "30s"
    type: "CHAT"
    message: "&e[AFK] &7You are inactive. &c%time_left% &7until punishment is applied!"
  - time: "20s"
    type: "TITLE"
    title: "&c&lWARNING!"
    subtitle: "&eMove within 5 seconds!"
    sound: "BLOCK_NOTE_BLOCK_PLING"
  - time: "5s"
    type: "ACTION_BAR"
    message: "&4&lPunishment almost applied: %time_left%"
    sound: "ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP"

# Actions that take place when max_afk_time is reached
actions:
  - type: "CONSOLE"
    command: "broadcast 85"
  - type: "PLAYER"
    command: "spawn"
  - type: "DISCORD_WEBHOOK"
    message: "**%player_displayname%** has been sent to spawn due to AFK behavior."

# ================================== #
#          PROGRESSIVE PUNISHMENT    #
# ================================== #
progressive_punishment:
  enabled: true
  reset_after: "1d" # quick reset for testing
  punishments:
    - count: 1
      actions:
        - type: "CONSOLE"
          command: "broadcast 1"
        - type: "PLAYER"
          command: "spawn"

    - count: 2
      actions:
        - type: "CONSOLE"
          command: "broadcast 2"

    - count: 3
      actions:
        - type: "CONSOLE"
          command: "broadcast 3"
        - type: "DISCORD_WEBHOOK"
          message: ":rotating_light: **%player_displayname%** is temporarily banned due to repeated AFK behavior."

The problem is, when it reaches the 30 seconds my chat gets spammed with the following messages:

You are inactive. 29 seconds until punishment is applied!"

Do you have any idea on how to stop this?

My main goal is;

• After 3 min 1 message in chat with 'You are inactive...'
• After 4 min 1 title with a sound
• After 4 min and 30 seconds the action bar
• After 5 min a kick

I dont want to use the progressive punish system, every time a player is AFK the rules above should be used.

(The bossbar and actionbar doenst work)

Im using paper-1.21.10-108

Hi Frederick,

Thanks a lot for the extensive feedback and the screenshot! I have analyzed the issues you encountered with AntiAFK plugin, specifically the chat spam and configuration logic.

I have fixed all the issues you mentioned in the latest codebase. Following is a breakdown of what went wrong and how that is resolved, along with the exact configuration you need.

1. The "Chat Spam" Issue - Resolved
   Problem: It was checking AFK time every second. When it had 29 seconds left, the logic 29s <= 30s was true, so it sent a message. The next second it had 28 seconds left, but the logic was still true, and thus it spammed until the time ran out.

The Fix: I updated the logic for WarningManager. It now "remembers" the last warning sent to a player. A player that has already gotten the "30s" warning won't get it, or any higher warnings, until the timer resets. The spam is gone.

2. ACTIONBAR & BOSSBAR NOT WORKING
   The Problem: This was most likely due to the rapid firing of the spam messages blocking the updates of the Actionbar, or a slight problem with how colors were parsed in the configuration loader.

The Fix: With the spam fix and improved configuration loader (ConfigManager updates), notifications from both Actionbar and Bossbar will now show as intended on Paper 1.21.

3. The Configuration You Want
   Below is the math involved in the configuration, which is based on time left, considering your goal of 5 min total time:

• Total Max Time: 5 Minutes
• 3rd Minute (Elapsed): 2 Minutes Left -> Send Chat
• 4th Minute (Elapsed): 1 Minute Left -> Send Title + Sound
• 4m 30s (Elapsed): 30 Seconds Left -> Send Actionbar
• 5th Minute (Elapsed): 0 Seconds Left -> Kick

Here is the exact config.yml you need to accomplish this. Copy and replace your current config with this:

# ================================== #
#           MAIN AFK SYSTEM          #
# ================================== #

# Max AFK time before punishment (5 minutes)
max_afk_time: "5m"

# Warnings are triggered based on "Time Left"
warnings:
  # Goal: Message after 3 mins elapsed (2 mins remaining)
  - time: "2m"
    type: "CHAT"
    message: "&e[AntiAFK] &7You are inactive. &c%time_left% &7remaining before kick!"
  
  # Goal: Title after 4 mins elapsed (1 min remaining)
  - time: "1m"
    type: "TITLE"
    title: "&c&lWARNING!"
    subtitle: "&eMove within 1 minute!"
    sound: "BLOCK_NOTE_BLOCK_PLING"
  
  # Goal: Actionbar after 4m 30s elapsed (30s remaining)
  - time: "30s"
    type: "ACTION_BAR"
    message: "&4&lPunishment imminent: %time_left%"
    sound: "ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP"

# Actions to take when time runs out (Kick)
actions:
  - type: "CONSOLE"
    command: "kick %player% &cYou have been kicked for being AFK for 5 minutes."

# ================================== #
#          PROGRESSIVE PUNISHMENT    #
# ================================== #
progressive_punishment:
  # You wanted to disable this and use the rules above every time.
  enabled: false
  
  reset_after: "30d"
  punishments: [] # Can be left empty since enabled is false

# ================================== #
#         DETECTION SETTINGS         #
# ================================== #
detection:
  max-pointless-activities: 15
  check_camera_movement: true
  check_chat_activity: true
  check_interaction: true
  check_toggle_sneak: true
  check_player_attack: true
  check_item_drop: true
  check_inventory_activity: true
  check_item_consume: true
  auto_set_afk_after: "1m"

# Other standard settings...
lang: "English"
debug:
  enabled: false

Next Steps for You:

1. Download the up-to-date AntiAFK v1.0.3 JAR files.
2. Delete your old config.yml.
3. Either start the server to generate the new default config, or paste the config I provided above.
4. Reload (/antiafk reload).

Enjoy a lag-free experience!
