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.
Not much to show in a screenshot, but have an example nonetheless:
How to use
Use the following Plugin Command structure:
You can combine any number of units in any order you want. So while impractical, you can do this:
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:
Variables
You can use variables as values. For example:
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:
All available units of time
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.
Code:
Plugin Command: Wait 2m 30s

Plugin Command: Wait v1You can use variables as values. For example:

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!
