Plugin only works when your status is 'online'

[darkking24]

I myself use discord on 'DND' to avoid people knowing my device platform, it would be nice if this worked when I am on 'DND' to 'Idle'.

To be fair you can still see what platform you are on with a plugin no matter the status (except invisible).

So in turn that whole thing is useless. The purpose of DND is to suppress notifications and why when idle would you want it to not suppress them. I can only think of one use case for that but that would be a manual job more or less than one to automate because of complexity to do it. Just switch it back to online manually if you want it that way.

@darkking24 I never planned for the trigger status to be something other than online and wrote the code that way. So currently i have no idea how I could implement that in a way that doesn't make the plugin logic more complex and more prone to bugs.

Maybe i'll consider implementing this feature after I add some sort of unit testing to ensure any future change doesn't break existing functionality, but that won't be happening any sooner since I have college to deal with

maybe i could be wrong, but as far as i know you could only know other person's device type only when their status is online, since that is when you see the mobile icon

You would be correct, with vanilla Discord, but with a plugin (PlatformIndicators) it will list every device you are on (web, desktop, and mobile) and display the status of it. So as long as you have a status other than invisible, others will always be able to see what you are on and your status.

this is interesting. i didn't know that statuses of different devices were available publicly to clients

Yepp, they are.
