[LUA] Simple tool for gamemasters

[wdvx]

Wrote a simple script in lua that can be used by gamemasters when they're afk.
It will send animated text over your head saying "AFK" in red text color
Script only tested on Avesta revision 93 ~

function onSay(cid, item, param)
    if param == "start" then
        c = function()
            doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), "AFK", TEXTCOLOR_RED)
            k = addEvent(c, 2000)
        end
        addEvent(c, 2000)
    elseif param == "end" then
        stopEvent(k)
    end
end

People have to stop using that on and off bullshit(@OP, @Amiroslo). I haven't read up on Events yet(based it on OP), but here's mine:

local storage = 38417
function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
    if ( words and isPlayer(cid) ) then
        if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) == -1 then
        local function call()
        doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), 'AFK', TEXTCOLOR_RED)
        event = addEvent(call, 2000)
        end
        addEvent(call, 2000)
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, 'ON')
        doCreatureSetNoMove(cid, true)
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 1)
        else
        stopEvent(event)
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, 'OFF')
        doCreatureSetNoMove(cid, false)
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, -1)
        end
    end 
    return true
end

Why not just go invis/gm island instead of standing in dp afk showing off?

Why not just go invis/gm island instead of standing in dp afk showing off?

I'm using this AFK-Script and quite happy with it Credits to Sonik as far as I remember

local time = 3 -- Seconds
local say_events = {}
local function SayText(cid)
    if isPlayer(cid) == TRUE then
         if say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)] ~= nil then
             if isPlayer(cid) == TRUE then
                 doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid),"AFK", math.random(01,255))
             end
             say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)] = addEvent(SayText, time * 1000 / 2, cid)   
         end                                                   
    end
    return TRUE
end
local storage = 38417
function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
local afkCheck = getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage)
    if(param == "") then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Command param required.")
    return TRUE
    end
     if (param == "on") then
        if (afkCheck == -1) then
            if (isPlayer(cid) == TRUE) then
                doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid),"AFK", math.random(01,255))
            end
            say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)] = addEvent(SayText, time * 1000, cid)

            doCreatureSetNoMove(cid, true)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 1)
        else
