====== Triggering actions when actor is idle ======

Attach the following script to your actor to trigger some action when the actor is idle for some time (5 seconds in this case)

<code script>#include "scripts\base.inc"
 
var IsIdle = false;
var IdleStartTime = 0;
 
while(true) // endless loop
{
  if(actor.Ready) // is the actor doing something
  {
    if(!IsIdle)
    {
      // actor enters idle state
      IsIdle = true;
      IdleStartTime = Game.CurrentTime;
    }
    else if(Game.CurrentTime - IdleStartTime > 5000) // is the actor idle for 5 seconds
    {
      IdleStartTime = Game.CurrentTime; 
      actor.ApplyEvent("idle");
    }
  }
  else IsIdle = false; // actor is busy; set IsIdle to false
  Sleep(100); // wait for 100 milliseconds
}

on "idle"
{
  // do some idle processing here
  actor.Talk("Yawn!");
  actor.GoTo(Random(0, 1000), Random(0, 600));
