This is an awesome away system made with POPUPS! It features 'Gone for ..', options you can choose add instead of it being all squished into the script (Only counter in this version, lots more in upcoming versions) and probably in the late version of v0.1.0 it may become a dialog.

Place it in the POPUPS section of your Scripts Editor.
