EDIT
This plugin is now available on GitHub: https://github.com/Nolonar/RM_Plugins-HideIdleMouse
---
Hello everyone. Today I'd like to release a plugin I just made. (I hope I'm doing this right)
I call it: IdleMouse
It simply hides the mouse cursor when idle.
It also hides the mouse cursor immediately when the game starts, because otherwise the player would need to move the mouse at least once before the auto-hiding kicks in.
Note: The mouse cursor is only hidden when it is inside the game window. This is not a bug.
How to use
Just enable the plugin, that's it.
You can customize how long the mouse can remain idle before it is hidden. By default, the timeout is 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds).
If you don't care about the mouse at all and simply wish to keep it hidden at all times, you can just use the following one-liner.
Terms of use
The one-liner (above) has absolutely no Terms of Use. Do with it whatever you want.
The following Terms of Use only apply to the full plugin.
So basically, my Terms of Use are designed to be as pain-free as possible.
As long as you don't try to steal it or make profits from it (except if you're selling a game that uses the plugin), you're allowed to do pretty much whatever you want, without any obligations. You're not even required to bother with proper crediting.
In return, you agree that you won't use my plugin as an excuse to try to blame me for any misfortune that may have befallen you, past, present, or future.
Just be a decent human being, and we'll all be happy (I hope).

The following Terms of Use only apply to the full plugin.
- Free for use in any RPG Maker game, commercial or not.
- Credits not required.
- Modifications allowed.
- Redistribution allowed, but only if free.
- Not allowed: Selling the plugin. It may only be sold as part of an RPG Maker game.
- Not allowed: Claiming ownership of the plugin. You're allowed to claim ownership of any modifications you've made, as long as it's clear that it's a modification and that the original plugin isn't yours.
- Not allowed: Change the Terms of Use. An exception is made for modifications. You are allowed to set your own Terms of Use for your modification, but it may not conflict against the "claiming ownership" or "selling" Terms.
- I am not liable for any damage or misfortune incurred before, while, or after using the plugin or any of its modifications.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
