How to check how long player has been disconnected from dedicated?

[Azza FHI 50]

As the title suggests, does anyone know of a way of checking how long a player has been disconnected from a dedicated server?

Thanks

You need to give us a bit more info, perhaps example situation.

There's a solution for that: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/onPlayerDisconnected

You'd simply record the time they disconnected, and then when they re-connect work out the difference.

ok thanks for the replies.

Situation: Will be running a mission that goes for ~4 days. when player JIP's they have the option to spawn to captured spawn points, but in order to prevent misuse of this system it needs to only fire if the player has been absent from the server for 30 minutes.

This is what ive got so far (in the process of testing if it will work.

initplayerlocal.sqf

while {true} do {
        waituntil {!isnull player};
        sleep 30;
        ["savePlayer", player] call pdw;
        ["saveInventory", [name player, player]] call pdw;
        profileNamespace setVariable ["player_time", servertime];
};

in our teleport system addon

clientinit.sqf

	private ['_time_check','_disconnected_time'];
	_time_check = profileNamespace getVariable "player_time";
	_disconnected_time = servertime - _time_check;

	if (_disconnected_time > 300) then { };

edit - 300 is for testing purposes
