AFK display macro tutorial

Plain and simple this macro display on screen "AFK: True" if you are afk or "AFK: False" if you are not afk.

now you want to create a new text file for the main script so go to your macro bindings event screen and click the '..I' button in the bottom right corner of the screen as shown below:


On the next screen we want to create a new text file and we are going to call it "afkdisplay" and then hit create (ignore the 'balchecker in the next screenshot it is a reused image):


Once you hit create an text document like screen will come up in this screen you will need to copy and paste the following code:

Code:

$${
STRIP(&chat,%CHAT%)
IFMATCHES(%&chat%,"^You are now AFK\.")
    SET(@&afk,AFK: &4True)
ELSE
    IFMATCHES(%&chat%,"^You are no longer AFK\.")
        SET(@&afk,AFK: &bFalse)
    ENDIF
ENDIF
}$$

Now once you paste that script into the text file hit save in the lower right corner, there you have created the afkdisplay.txt, now we have to bind it to the onChat event. To do this go back to your macro bindings events screen and click the onChat event. In this screen type:

Code:

$$<afkdisplay.txt>

into the box, remember if you have other macros there you must separate them with a pipe "|".
Now we need to set up a way to set it to un-afk if you relog while afk, to do this go to the onJoinGame event in the macro bindings: events screen and input:

Code:

$${SET(@&afk,AFK: &bFalse)}$$

Remember once again if you have other scripts here to separate with a pipe, "|".

Now just one thing left to do, create the on screen label where it will be displayed, So head back to the macro bindings: events screen and in the lower right corner click the "GUI editor" button. Then double click on the "in-game" GUI in the left hand tab. This will display your on screen GUI. In the lower left corner of this screen click the "Button panel commands" button and click add label, place the label wherever you want it (you can change this afterwards), When you place the label a properties window will appear, this time we are going to ignore the "control name" and jump straight to the "label text" in this I want you to simple enter in two percent signs like below:

Code:

%%

Then in the next binding option I want you to enter:

Code:

@&afk

Then you can click 'ok' and change the label settings at will.
You should be all set up now, test it out make sure it works, if you have any problems please post below, and mind you if there is a problem with the script just give me a shout I did write it up in this thread not in my minecraft with macromod so it is all written from memory.
and I guess have fun.

You are most welcome, I normally get around to doing most major requests that people want, private ones often get side tracked though.

 

Bump because users have been asking me about these and none of my macros break any rules.

 

Thats exactly what it does.

 

Did you by chance have anything else in your onJoinGame Event?
