    What version of Grid2 are you using? v960

     

    What game client version (windows or mac) and language are you using ? Windows

     

    What steps will reproduce the problem? Just a suggestion for raid leading.

      

    Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (`/console scriptErrors 1`) or install [BugSack](https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/BugSack).

      

    Please provide any additional information below.

     

    Just a simple count-time just like freebgrid and aptechka addons, I used these grids in the past and they got a feature where if someone goes AFK, or offline, it write AFK or offline, and underneath it a timer starts counting, from seconds, then to minutes. Like that:

     

    1s or 30s

     

    and once it reaches 59s it changes to minutes as such:

     

    1m, or 3m

     

    This gives the leader of the raid an idea of how long a person has been afk or offline, to find a replacement or remove that member.

    Implemented in r961-beta, working for afk and online statuses.

    The best option is to create an additional text indicator to display the elapsed time (the option "Show Elapsed time" must be enabled in the text indicator).

    In  General tab, the text format for seconds and minutes can be changed (Text Formating section).

    Thanks! I tested it and it works beautifully. <3

     

    EDIT: One thing I noted with it, I don't know if its a problem, but the timer resets if the profile/theme changes while in a group > raid, or the opposite, I got a different grid size for raid and for party, and if converted while someone is offline/afk the timer goes back to zero.

     

    This is the only thing that I noticed.

    Fixing this issue requires an important refactor of the status.

    I've been experimenting with it, most of the time it works great, but there are few incidents where the AFK timer keeps going even though the person removed AFK, the text AFK goes away, but the timer keeps going.

     

    I noticed it one time when a person joined the group while being AFK, then immediately upon joining he moved, i.e. removed AFK, the timer kept going, I don't know if that produces the error every time, but that's what I saw.

     

    Just reporting.

    Refactored afk status in version 962-beta, some of the new issues must be fixed.

    Possible glitches in offline status are not fixed but i'm not going to change this status because  is a mess (the status has too many tricky workarounds to minimize some blizzard bugs).
