[CGMZ] Idle for RPG Maker MZ

Hi all, introducing [CGMZ] Idle!

Idle mechanics

This plugin allows you to define a set amount of frames before the player is considered idle. Frames are counted from the last frame the player made any type of input. After entering Idle state, the plugin will automatically turn a switch ON and begin incrementing a variable by 1 every frame. Once the player resumes playing and sends inputs to the game, the idle status will be cleared and the switch/variable will be reset to OFF or 0.

This will allow you to event what occurs when the player is idle, such as causing the player's sprite to slowly change to a sleeping sprite or doing some other action after turning idle. 

Example

One example is how this could be used is to show a balloon icon over the player's head when idle:

Manual Idle Control

Should you not want to use the automatic switch or variable, there also exist plugin commands to turn a switch ON/OFF by idle status and set a variable to how many frames the player has been idle.

You can also have a common event run when entering/leaving the idle state.
