Heal Over Time v2.2.3
by Arty

FIXED A CRITICAL BUG INTRODUCED IN VERSION 2.2.1!
Please redownload the plugin, as v2.2.3 fixes an important issue with persistent states!

Introduction
After googling for a while, I have come to the conclusion that there were no plugins that allow you to heal your actors gradually while out of battle. Now there is one. It does everything I wanted it to do, but I'm not sure if there's a smarter/more convenient way to do it, so I'm posting it to the WIP section to get some feedback maybe...?

I completely changed everything from version 1, so now the plugin should be actually usable.

Features
- Define healing states in the database and plugin manager
- The script will automatically run in custom intervals (defined per State)
- The actors with specified State(s) will regain a certain amount of HP or MP everytime the script gets executed
- The plugin can remove the State(s) when the actor is fully healed, or leave it/them alone
- A popup will inform you of the healing (courtesy of Mr. Trivel), if you wish, with a specified icon
- When the state gets removed through other means than expiring, you can stop the healing effect now

In the plugin manager.


How to Use
- Set up your State(s) in the database, pretty much just giving it a name and an icon.
- Give the State(s) a Custom Apply Effect as per Yanfly's Buffs and States plugin
- Set up the State(s) in the plugin manager
- Apply the State(s) to the actors in any way.
- Profit!

Author's Notes
Like I said, I'd like some feedback. I could not think of a better way to do this, so maybe you guys can give me some ideas/hints.
