What is _stopCount

[Bigbaddevil7]

I have Prior JS experience from Web Development, but new to RPG Maker scripting, and I have been looking through the files to work on a new pathing AI plugin for a game project.

From what I can gather, is it just a variable that gets ticked when the event/character can not move?

This here Is what I imagine is ticking the counter if the event/character can not move, is this correct?

Game_CharacterBase.prototype.updateStop = function() {
    this._stopCount++;
};

it's the property that store how many time the character are not moving.

So is that count for even when idle, or just when they have hit something can cannot move?
