lobby idling?

[schmoking 17]

im new to managing a server, so i dont know much about it... but something weird happend.

there was a player on my server, he wasnt moving at all, and no one could kill him. this went on for maybe 20-30 minutes.

i thought he was bugged so i kicked him, he then rejoins imediately, but just stays in the lobby, so after maybe 5 mins i kick him again.

later that day i see the same player joining and just idling in the lobby, so after a while i kick him again.

what was weird this time is that 4 or 5 players left seconds after i kicked him.

 

is there some kind of hack, cheat, exploit or bug that works like this?

never seen this before on my server.

The 4-5 players leaving once you kicked him was probably a coincidence. And as long as your server isn't being blown to pieces then I wouldn't take too much notice of this. Just keep an eye on him in the logs to see if he's cheating or not.

the server is a dm, with players beeing able to spawn in whatever they want, so its kinda hard to tell if there is any hackers, it gets crazy in there pretty fast.  :crazy:

only other weird thing i noticed was some missiles that was frozen in the air, but its probly nothing... il just check those logs, thx for the reply

I've put in 900+ hours on the King of the Hill servers so far this year, and although they're excellently created and highly popular, they still throw up the odd glitch from time to time, so I suppose the moral is that no server is immune to glitches including yours, but we can usually live with them..:)

You can make a script to kick afk people.

 

Pretty much add a variable which turns true once player is on the briefing screen or in-game.

Then use serverCommand to kick the player.
