Is there a way to find if there is an idle player? [closed]

I could make a script that could find out when the idle animation plays, but It doesn't work. There is a way to see if there is an idle player but It checks for players that have been idle for 2 min. How could you change it to 5 seconds instead of 2 min?

game.Players.Player.Idled:connect(function(time)
     print("Player has been idle for " .. time .. " seconds")
end)

You could write your own custom event using ticks and UserInputService. DigitalVeer 1473 — 9y

Yes there is a way, I don't feel like scripting it but make a mouse move script that resets a counter the counter goes up every seconds and after a certain amount it goes to idle mode. This value aka the seconds idled should be reset by keydown and moved all mouse functions. So relatively easy.

Example

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local seconds = script.Parent.Parent.Seconds
function moved() 
seconds.Value = 0
end

function down()
seconds.Value = 0
end

mouse.KeyDown:connect(down)
mouse.Moved:connect(moved)

Inside the seconds there should be

while true do
wait()
if seconds.Value<60 then
seconds.Value=seconds.Value+1
wait(1)
end

end

Sadly no, if you look at the Roblox Wiki page for this event, then you'll see that the only duration is every two minutes. Sorry about that.

I got the script from the wiki. I already know It takes 2 min that's why I asked it. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 10y

And I answered. Your question was "Is there a way to find if there is an idle player?" the answer (besides what you pointed out) is no Norshine 88 — 10y
