Wait Extended - Use minutes, seconds, variables

TDDP_WaitEx 1.0.1

Introduction
This plugin allows you to call Wait events using minutes, seconds, variables, and more. Useful when you need to time waits to music, sound effects, or other units of time that make converting -- and reading -- frames inconvenient.

Using variables as wait duration also expands the possibilities of what you can do without the need for excessive conditional branches.

Features

• Very easy Plugin Command syntax. As simple as typing "Wait 2m 30s".
  
• Use variables with any time unit. For example: "Wait v1m v2s".
  
• Doesn't alter MV's internal wait functionality; simply converts any of the time units to frames and passes it on.
  

Screenshots
Not much to show in a screenshot, but have an example nonetheless:





How to use
SpoilerUse the following Plugin Command structure:

                Code:       

1. Plugin Command: Wait 2m 30s

复制代码

You can combine any number of units in any order you want. So while impractical, you can do this:

                Code:       

1. Plugin Command: Wait 15s 1m 2m 10f

复制代码

The default time unit is frames, so if you simply want to wait for a variable's value number of frames, you can simply write:

                Code:       

1. Plugin Command: Wait v1

复制代码

Variables
You can use variables as values. For example:

                Code:       

1. Plugin Command: Wait v1m v2s 30f

复制代码

This would wait variable 1's value in minutes, variable 2's value in seconds, and 30 frames.

Verbosity
If you feel like the units are a little hard to read, you can use more verbose aliases. For example:

                Code:       

1. Plugin Command: Wait 3minutes 15seconds 20frames

复制代码

All available units of time
                Code:       

1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Unit         | Valid keys       | Example usage
3. - - - - - - -|- - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4. Frames       | f, frames, blank | 5f, 5frames, 5
5. Minutes      | m, min, minutes  | 2m, 2min, 2minutes
6. Seconds      | s, sec, seconds  | 8s, 8sec, 8seconds
7. Milliseconds | ms, milliseconds | 300ms, 300milliseconds

复制代码

Note: Keep in mind that ~16 milliseconds will pass for each internal "tick" in MV's engine, so wait times that aren't multiples of 16 when using milliseconds will not be entirely precise.
