You can use this for all the users you like.

Just create a new online_bit_complete plugin for every user. Plugins must have unique names.

The code is still the same:

// check to make sure VB_AREA is defined
if (defined('VB_AREA'))
    {
    $onlinefake = file ('who_is_online_fake.txt');  
    switch($userinfo['username'])
    {
        case 'USER_A':
            srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
            shuffle ($onlinefake);
            $userinfo['action'] = $onlinefake[0];        
            $userinfo['where'] = '';
            break;  
                  
    }
}

$onlinefake is the variable to the mentioned txt-file. You can also use different txt-files.
