Feature Request - Idle Spectator kick timeout

[shadowze]

I would like to be able to set a spectator timeout config value that operates like this
spectator.idle.timeout = 180 -- in seconds

If a player has connected to the server and sits in the lobby for longer than the above value they get auto kicked from the server

many thanks

It is doable. A possible problem point is that I don't think there is any callback for when a player finished loading and could select a slot. As a result there would have to be time added to account for loading into the server. It would probably be a good idea to have two settings, one for time after they connect and another for after they choose a slot and switch back to spectators.

those are good points to consider, is it possible to know if a player is in a slot by performing some sort of query?

Joining slots has callbacks so it can be detected immediately. Its just the loading time + whenever they decide to join a slot that is an unknown. Should even be possible to track/kick if they are in a slot but not spawned yet.
