Features

Several options were added to the addon configuration tab within the game. Additionally, the command /goafk was added in order to make several features work. For this command, the addon should automatically register a new macro that can be used from the action bar.

Perform actions

Two input fields were registered that can be filled with actions that are performed when going AFK or when coming back. Currently, the following actions are available (more in the future):

EMOTE: Executes an emote
WAIT: Pauses for a specified number of milliseconds before executing the next action

How to define actions

Each action in the input field must be enclosed in square brackets ([]) and should include:

Action Type (e.g., EMOTE or WAIT),
A comma (,), and
The value for that action (e.g., the emote name or the wait duration in milliseconds).

Separate multiple actions with a comma (,). See the examples below for reference:

Perform a single action:

[EMOTE,SLEEP]

Perform multiple sequential actions:

[EMOTE,WAVE],[EMOTE,SLEEP]

Add a delay between actions:

[EMOTE,SIT],[WAIT,5000],[EMOTE,SLEEP]

Please that each emote behaves differently, and you might have to tweak your action list a bit in order for it to work as you intend. Some emotes, like SLEEP, also disable follow up emotes. If you notice other strange behaviour, make sure to send a message.

Send messages

Using the registered /goafk command it is possible to send a custom message to one of the following channels indicating that you are AFK:

Say
Party
Raid
Guild

When coming back from being AFK it is also possible to send a custom message to one of the following channels indicating that you are back:

Party
Raid
Guild

Customize AFK reply message

You can normally set this message by typing /afk Custom message. By using the new input field in combination with the /goafk command you can now standardize this message instead of having to type it every time.
