Serverside example

This example will kick a player if they don't move for 5 minutes and the resource has access to "function.kickPlayer"

function checkAFKPlayers()
    for index, thePlayer in ipairs(getElementsByType("player"))do -- Loop all online players
        if (getPlayerIdleTime(thePlayer) > 300000) then -- Player hasn't moved for 300,000ms (5 minutes)
            kickPlayer(thePlayer, "Idle for 5 minutes") -- Kick the idle player
        end
    end
end
setTimer(checkAFKPlayers, 30000, 0) -- Timer to execute every 30 seconds, checking for idlers
