Well, ingame on the far right of the screen, there should be a button that says "Click to show that you are AFK" and you can use it to explain to others in very little detail that you cant listen to them as you are "Away from Keyboard" and also if your person doesn't talk/move for 5 minutes. If you start moving around, the charactor comes back to it's origional state. The different ideas to show it includes: 1) Your body turns semi-invisable and floats above the ground with text above your saying "Busy" 2) You turn into an egg the size of a nomal avatars head with Zzz coming out of it. 3) ROBLOXian takes out a newspaper mesh and starts reading it. You can think of different ideas below. Thanks for reading, SlimyGreenZombie

Some games have tools that show it, it makes you invisible, and invincible. I believe ScytheTheDonut had one. And so did HatHelper.

Also, this means you can do it in ANY games.

Scriptable. Most games that use afk tools either teleport you to an 'AFK Room' shield and anchor you

Support. I hate how for everything you think you can just script, that would be very nice if someone made a script for that in a game, but others can't script.

What about in games without the character? Or if the maker doesn't want players to have an unfair advantage? A universal AFK button would allow people to go AFK in combat, wait until the threat is gone, and go.

Okay, good point, I like that post. Maybe make it so the owner of the game can switch it off in the "Configure this Place" but it is automatically selected as there are more people that would need it than not. Agree?

I like your idea about waiting for a bus, but I think we should stick to really simple ideas that consist of only the charactor. Otherwise, it was a great idea.

Support, But it takes about 15 seconds(If you click) to go into AFK mode, And you can get killed when going into it, but not when in it. Some more ideas- A person with a laptop, Sitting down, Waiting for it to load. The person pulls out some food, And eats. Still, Support.
