(See the best response by LordAndrew.)
Code:
mob/var/AFK
var/obj/AfkIcon/AfkIcon=new
obj/AfkIcon
    pixel_x=8
    pixel_y=8
    icon='Other.dmi'
    icon_state="AFK"
    layer=FLOAT_LAYER

mob/proc/CheckAFK()
    if(src.client.inactivity>=20) if(!src.AFK)
        src.AFK=1
        src.overlays-=AfkIcon
        src.overlays+=AfkIcon
    else    if(src.AFK)
        src.AFK=0
        src.overlays-=AfkIcon

You don't need to type in all capitals.

As for the procedure: you need to create a loop in order for it to constantly check the client's inactivity. As it stands, it'll only do CheckAFK() once.

You'd want to use a loop construct, in this case while(). Just make sure to add a sleep() within the while() to prevent it from crashing your server.
