 Introduction
 Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž
 Enhanced Wait Options to use plugins commands or scriptcalls
 to use inside plugins or in the editor in various ways to
 simplify your needs.

 Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž
 Wait 180 Frames
 Wait 3 Second (or Seconds)
 Wait 1 Minute (or minutes)

 Wait For Route        => Waits for all movement routes
 Wait For Animation    => Waits for all animations
 Wait For Balloon      => Waits for all balloon animations
 Wait For Message      => Waits for all messages (Best in parallel)
 Wait For Transfer     => Waits for map transfer
 Wait For Scroll       => Waits for scrolling
 Wait For Gather       => Waits for all followers to gather

 Wait For Video        => Waits for all video's
 Wait For Image        => Waits for images to load
 Wait For SE           => Waits for all Sound Effects
 Wait For ME           => Waits for all Music Effects
 Wait For Condition    => Waits for custom condition
 Cancel Wait           => Cancels any active wait or condition

 Example: Wait For Condition <condition>

 Wait For Condition $gameVariables.value(3) > 5
 Wait For Condition Input.isTriggered("cancel")


 Script Calls
 Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž Íž
 There are 3 kinds of scriptcalls available that can be
 used inside events, common events or in plugins.

 waitFor(value, unit);
 waitForCond(condition);
 cancelWait();
 
 The Scriptcall "waitFor(value, unit)" can be used for
 a duration of time as follows: (like 3 seconds)
 
 waitFor(180);
 waitFor(180, "frames")
 waitFor("180 frames")
 waitFor(3, "second");
 waitFor(3, "seconds");
 waitFor("3 second");
 waitFor("3 seconds");

 The rest of the waitFor(value) are like plugin commands
 
 waitFor("route");
 waitFor("animation");
 waitFor("balloon");
 waitFor("message");
 waitFor("transfer");
 waitFor("scroll");
 waitFor("gather");
 waitFor("action");
 waitFor("video");
 waitFor("image");
 waitFor("se");
 waitFor("me");


 For the Scriptcall "waitForCond(condition)",
 condition must be in quotes:

 waitForCond("Input.isTriggered('cancel')");
 waitForCond("$gameSwitches.value(5)");
 waitForCond("$gameVariables.value(3) > 5");


 For the Scriptcall "cancelWait()" inside plugins

 setTimeout(() => cancelWait(), 3000);
 or
 setTimeout(cancelWait, 3000);

 This eliminate the conditions or timer after 3 seconds.


PS:
SRD_WaitOptions had some issues, so its a mostly rewrite with extra defensive layer and extra
feature for scriptcalls to make it even more powerful.

I had this for a while making my side game, where I needed it a lot when I encounter problems.
So it has some heavy rewrites to make it work as it should and optimized for extension.
