Idle Characters + Portal Registrations

I was running the idle sweep yesterday and ran into an issue.

If a character is created on the portal, they have no “Last On,” so they automatically show up on the idle list. This is fine, except I can’t pull them off the list.

After idle/remove PortalB: %% PortalB removed from idle queue.

And after idle/action PortalB=Warn: %% Jamjams’s idle action is now Warn.

The idle list says both times:

Name                 Last On      Idle Action     Last Will 
PortalA                           Destroy           
PortalB                           Destroy          
PC                   04/22/2019*  Warn

I’m not able to reproduce what you’re seeing.

Did you idle/start again? That resets everything to the defaults, which for someone who’s never logged in would be Destroy.

At any rate, I will initialize the LastOn for a web char so this won’t happen in the future.

For me…

idle/start

Name                 Last On      Idle Action     Last Will 
A                                 Destroy          
B                    04/12/2019   Destroy          
C                    04/25/2019   Destroy 

idle/remove A

idle/queue

Name                 Last On      Idle Action     Last Will 
B                    04/12/2019   Destroy          
C                    04/25/2019   Destroy 

idle/action A=warn

idle/queue

Name                 Last On      Idle Action     Last Will 
A                                 Warn             
B                    04/12/2019   Destroy          
C                    04/25/2019   Destroy

You’re correct. I was re-running idle/start. Makes sense now (and I’ll stop nuking those poor people halfway through CG on the portal, whoops).

Thank you. :slight_smile:
