Question - Utility/Script that shuts eq off ? (1 Viewer)

[Demonator]

Looking for a plugin that shuts eq off after a certain amount of time?

Do you mean that it will issue a /q command? Or camp out?

as in your are playing afk and then you die and go to lobby and if you sit there for 15 minutes you will log out?

Just make a Lua script. Something like this should do the trick.

local mq = require('mq')
local args = {...}
if not args[1] then
    print("Provide the number of minutes to wait.")
    mq.exit()
end

local minutesToWait = tonumber(args[1])
if minutesToWait == nil then
    print("Invalid number provided.")
    mq.exit()
end

local function waitForMinutes(minutes)
  local startTime = os.time()
  local duration = minutes * 60

  repeat
    local timehack = os.time()
    mq.delay(1000)
  until os.difftime(timehack, startTime) >= duration
end

print(string.format("Waiting for %d minutes...", minutesToWait))
waitForMinutes(minutesToWait)
mq.cmd('/exit')

I'm not sure how or where I'd implement this I'm pretty noob.. I basically use all cwtn's scripts because the ease.

then you can just use the code coldblooded posted

when you enter instance: /lua run timetologout 300 (i think 300minutes is 5 hours)

/q on all 3accounts after 5hrs be perfect.

open a new document in notepad++ or vscode, then copy paste the code in and save it in your mq/Lua folder with a rpoper name.Lua

1) There's no plugin that will do this.
2) It "smells" like you're running the Class plugins AFK (which is highly discouraged)
3) Chat isn't going to add that feature for you
4) Being a noob is okay, but don't be lazy too
Like Kaen said, cut/paste that script into notepad or some text editor. Place the script file in your Lua directory. It should be named whatever you want .Lua. For example, wait.Lua
To run the script, type /lua run wait 300 then after 300 minutes it will exit the game.

Np thanks, and no not completely afk.. I'm working on computer near by but sometimes meetings can pull me away. But thank you.

Looking for a Notepad++ Alternative?
You want Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/
some recommended extensions include:
indent-rainbow
vscodemq2

that allows you to edit scripts and inis and macros and what not like the cool kids
