Player Status Icons

This addon will show what players are doing in the form of an icon above their heads.

Only the server is required to have this addon, it will work properly for any player that joins - Contains no additional models or sounds, it's just a script.
(The icons (Silk icons[www.famfamfam.com]) are built into the game.)

A client settings menu can be found under Spawnmenu/Utilities/User/Player Status Icons where you can set which icons you want to see, and more.

Icons
In hierarchical order (increasing):

• | Is AFK (A timestamp will also appear)
  
• | Is using any kind of VGUI
  
• | Is typing in chat (Might not work with custom chatboxes)
  
• | Is in Spawnmenu
  
• | Is in main menu
  
• | Is Alt-tabbed (game window out of focus) (doesn't work on macOS clients)
  
• | Is timing out (lost connection to the server)

Icons fade away when they are too small for recognition. (e.g. You're too far away.)

Convars

• It logs nothing at all.
  
• Supports cloaking for ULX and Maestro (might work with other admin mods too).
  
• Works best with humanoid playermodels, though it will try to render icons somewhere over the player if it can't find a head attachment.
  
• Currently there is no efficient way of detecting if a player is in Steam overlay, so that is not indicated.
  
• For obvious reasons, this addon doesn't load in singleplayer.
  
• There are no status messages - This addon doesn't spam your chatbox.
  
• This addon was tested and made for Sandbox, I have no idea how / if it will work in other gamemodes.
