Unbannable Anti-AFK Program!

[mahany25]

I wrote this program in AutoIT. I know it is very simple, but it works. Also, the program is unrelated to WoW, and could be used for a number of things.

When you run the .EXE, a GUI will come up, telling you the hotkeys and with a blank field. Now what the program does is opens a window telling you to move your character every X minutes, X being the number that you write in the program. Thats all. It is called "Periodic Reminder", and I use it for BG's. It is different from an AFK bot because it is not bannable; you move your character, rather than a third party character.

Lol, good idea :P

So what exactly dose it do difrently?

[mahany25]

It doesn't send commands to the game, which other Anti-AFK programs do. Instead of doing that, which is against game rules and can get you banned, this just reminds you to move your character, to prevent you from going AFK.

So instead of moving my character, it somehow alerts me when it is time to move so that I can do it myself right before I get afk kicked?

Bingo.

isnt the point of anti-afk being able to leave ur keyboard and go to sleep or sumthin not just a reminder?

i really like the idea...but there is already an addon that does the exact same thing.

Timeuntilafk is what it's called. if you do not move your character for 30 seconds...a timer shows up (4:30) and then counts down. you can set an alarm at one minute or less that plays a random sound file from WoW and Warcraft 3. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it's helped me afk while doing homework/surfing.


Great idea..but it's been done.

n i c e :O

[MastaSlaya]

Yea this isnt really an afk bot =/

[Monkeypants]

Nope, this is in no way a bot, more like a clock telling you when to move.

sry but this can get u banned too. u won't be activ in battleground, and if gm whisper u because u do nothing, just jump or so after the afk warning, and u answer the gm u can get a warning. if u do not answer u can get a temp ban.
