Hour Idler - Need some info and suggestions

Overwatch Hour Idler

Okayyyy, haven't been on here in a while. I have recently been studying computer science at college and focusing on that. However, I recently just bought Overwatch, and I noticed your total hours played is only what you spend in game, not in the actual menu screen or what not. So I wanted to make an hour idler, I'm not too familiar with how Overwatch tracks hours and kicks you for inactivity. I'm way too lazy to trail and error it, so I was wondering if any of ya'll had any information on how that works. Or if you think this would even be worth it to make, I am decent at the game but find myself getting kicked from groups because of my low hours.

Anyway, if any of you have some information, I was just thinking of throwing together a simple c++ program that posts key messages to the game moving around and shooting randomly. Not sure if it will work, but I might try it when I get some feedback. Thanks for taking the time to read this shit-post. (not actually a shit-post).

Cheers,
Itsumi

In quickplay/comp there's an inactivity timer that relies on you doing or taking damage, so you can't just sit around in spawn. However, there might be a way to automate leaving spawn. If you wanna talk about this some more, add me on dis cord: Chloe97#1088

I've done some testing and you're absolutely right. Even in 'v.s. AI' it will kick you if you're not doing damage. Because every map spawn is slightly different, i'm not sure how I would go about just shooting randomly and hoping to get some damage every so often. Here's the code I've written so far, it will move your character in a square and shoot at an interval. Not fantastic, but it's something to build off of. So feel free to add on, reply or DM on d1sc0rd (Maysen#0001) if you get anywhere.
