Forums Scripts & Popups Idle and events

Say a nick has been idle for 1 minute, what events e.g. msg sending, nick changing, channel joining.. will start a new idle timer? I need to know the complete list, thanks.

If you are referring to server idle time, any command that sends data through the server would reset it. A few examples are:

/ctcp
/say
/msg
/me
/nick
/topic
/mode
/whois

I'm sure you can think of more... I don't really want to list tons of commands. If you just want to keep yourself from being idle, just /ctcp yourself or /msg yourself every so often. Then you aren't bothering anyone and you're preventing yourself from being idle for a long period of time (if that's what you are trying to accomplish).

If you are referring to $nick().idle then any text, notice, action, ctcp, join or nick change will affect it. On part & quit are useless because they cause the nick to be removed from $nick(). During any of those events the idle value isn't updated until the end of the event or you call /updatenl
