I am thinking about making an idle game.. But the current max amount of time a user can be idle is about 20? Minutes.. I don't know the exact time currently before they get kicked. Is there any way to bypass this or completely disable it?

Any way to remove the roblox afk detection?

You could use this,
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Idle
and then check if their mouse has been idle for x minutes/seconds and then just make them jump if they have been idle for a certain amount of time.

Would that even work?

The time before a player is kicked is 20 minutes... unfortunately there is no way to bypass this. I have many games that would improve without this "feature".
well, what directly needs to happen for them to be 'active' or have it reset the counter? I don't believe you can just make the humanoid jump every 10 minutes? They personally would have to do it?
The server can't do anything but detect they are idle... the client has to do something, even as simple as pan the camera to reset the timer.
I mean, if you made it so they jumped every 10 minutes, would reset the timer?
I don't think that would work.
Why not? Is there anything in Lua that could act like it's the player controlling it?
Yeah i was thinking that you could somehow make it appear to have pushed something. If I can ask what do you mean by "idle game."
Like either a GUI type tycoon or just a normal tycoon where you would leave the game open for like an hour or two, and come back to it. (It would also save the stats and progress with them being out of the game.
Do you want to force them to be online so the game runs? Because if it runs while they are offline, you could save the time when they quit, and then figure out how long the were offline when they join again, and increment all of their idlers however much they should increase.
I was thinking about something like that, But I have no idea how I would do that. I don't even fully understand how to save/load data easily.
