Preventing GM Actions on bots

[nerexis]

Recently I've got all of my bots banned while I was doing other stuff on computer. I just saw 2 accounts already banned and one 'in-progress' of getting ban.
What I'm thinking is gm went on farming spot and was checking every character here using his commands. His character wasn't visible.
What I noticed, there was a not normal stun and he was trying to force logout me, bot was trying to close logout windows and was doing strange, not human things due to it, then got banned.

After these, I have setup recording software to record WoW while I was afk at 5 fps rate so it won't take whole drive space.
After 3 hours of botting GM started to hunt . Bot was grinding as always then again same actions happen.
He was trying to force logout me but bot was closing logout windows using cancel button, thousand of messages like this appeared:

"You have been inactive for some time and will be logged out of the game. If you wish to remain logged in, hit the cancel button. "

Bot was also stunned by I dont know what, probably also gm command.

Now I'm thinking about prevention system to it. Probably after I detect these messages bot should logout/script should stop for some time.

What do you think guys? Do anybody know by which WoW Api Event can I detect above messages?


Update:
Changed script so bot didnt cancel force logout windows, again force logout appeared and after 20s it didn't logout me and messages stopped appearing wtf?

If you're getting GM stunned then the account is going to be banned regardless. I don't think cancelling the inactivity popup will do anything...

Well yeah, but I have nothing to lose after all. I could detect strange stuns, just by checking how many buffs I have, if none of them stun type buff and I have stun then something is wrong here.

It probably wasn't a stun but the GM "/freeze"ing you.

At least, I've found method to detect those "You have been inactive..." messages.

Just watch for event:
(from wowwiki.com)
"CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM"
Category: Communication

Fired when a system chat message (they are displayed in yellow) is received.

arg1
The content of the chat message.

arg1 formats are found in Blizzard's GlobalStrings.lua. Some possibilities:

ERR_LEARN_RECIPE_S (eg. "You have learned how to create a new item: Bristle Whisker Catfish.")
MARKED_AFK_MESSAGE (eg. "You are now AFK: Away from Keyboard") "


The arg1 is (from GlobalStrings.lua):
http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...balStrings.lua
IDLE_MESSAGE = "You have been inactive for some time and will be logged out of the game. If you wish to remain logged in, hit the cancel button.";

Bot should take proper action after this event is detected, probably let him logout and wait for 15-30 minutes then relog.

It probably wasn't a stun but the GM "/freeze"ing you.

Yeah but red text in middle of screen is present: "Can't do that while stunned." or something like that.

Doesn't matter. That's just their way of immobilizing you while they kick and ban you.

If they are freezing/stunning you, you are already screwed.

Make sure you changing the LastHardwareAction... Don't just patch the function to stop you going AFK. Some ingame actions require the LastHardwareAction to be valid before they will work.

Jadd might be able to give you more information here, but its possible that they also send LastHardwareAction value with some packets... If this is a long time in the past, and your character is still moving then its obvious that yours a bot.

Protip; just update LHA any time you'd be doing any form of input. Simple 'nuff. (Movement, casting, chat, facing, etc)
