Purpose
Lets users set skills/items to need time to charge before using

Games using this plugin
None so far

Configurations
Code:
 * @param charge_c1

 * @desc Sets the 1st atb charge bar color as text color charge_c1

 *       charge_c1 must return a valid text color code

 *       charge_c1 should return the same value during the same battle to

 *       ensure proper atb charge bar color displays

 * @default 30

 *

 * @param charge_c2

 * @desc Sets the 2nd atb charge bar color as text color charge_c2

 *       charge_c2 must return a valid text color code

 *       charge_c2 should return the same value during the same battle to

 *       ensure proper atb charge bar color displays

 * @default 31

 *

 * @param charge_bar_text

 * @desc Sets the code of the charge bar description text as charge_bar_text

 *       It'll only be used if no <patb charge text: text> notetag's used

 *       Available charge_bar_text code:

 *       item - The name of the currently charging skill/item will be the charge

 *              bar description text

 *       Setting charge_bar_text as an unavailable code means atb_bar_text

 *       will be the charge bar description text

 *       charge_bar_text should return the same code during the same battle to

 *       ensure proper charge bar text displays

 * @default item

 *

 * @param charge_prior_item_cost

 * @desc Sets the skill/item charging to take place before paying its costs if

 *       charge_prior_item_cost is true

 *       It'll only be used if no <patb charge prior item cost> notetag's used

 *       charge_prior_item_cost should return the same value for the same action

 * @default true

 *

 * @param post_charge_common_event_id

 * @desc Sets the common event with id ppost_charge_common_event_id to be

 *       called right after a battler has finished charging a skill/item

 *       post_charge_common_event_id must return a Number

 *       If post_charge_common_event_id doesn't return the id of an existing

 *       common event, no common event will be called with this timing

 * @default 0

Notetags
Code:
 *    # Skill/Item Notetags:                                                  

 *      1. <patb charge: scale, code>                                         

 *         - Sets the charge rate to use the skill/item's invocation speed,   

 *           which will be multiplied by scale                                

 *         - code can be either of the below:                                 

 *           set - The charge value per frame will be the skill/item's        

 *                 invocation speed * scale, which should be nonnegative      

 *           add - The charge value per frame will be the absolute value of   

 *                 the battler atb gain value per frame + the skill/item's    

 *                 invocation speed * scale                                   

 *           multiply - If the skill/item's invocation speed * scale is       

 *                      positive, the charge value per frame will be the      

 *                      battler atb gain value per frame * the skill/item's   

 *                      invocation speed * scale                              

 *                      If the skill/item's invocation speed * scale is       

 *                      negative, the charge value per frame will be the      

 *                      battler atb gain value per frame / (the skill/item's  

 *                      invocation speed * scale)                             

 *                      If the skill/item's invocation speed * scale is 0, the

 *                      skill/item will be fully charged in 1 frame           

 *      2. <patb charge colors: text color 1, text color 2>                   

 *         - Changes the atb charge bar color 1 and 2 to text color 1 and 2   

 *           respectively when this notetag's used                            

 *      3. <patb charge text: text>                                           

 *         - Changes the atb charge bar description text as text when this    

 *           notetag's used                                                   

 *      4. <patb charge prior item cost>                                      

 *         - Sets the skill/item charging to take place before paying its cost
Code:
DoubleX_RMMV.PATB_Charge = {

 

    /* Sets hotkeys cancelling the charging of the charging actor with the

     * specified party member index

     * The effects will be the same as calling the reset_patb() plugin call

     * None of these hotkeys are supposed to be changed during the same battle

     * Each hotkey will be referenced by $gameSystem.patb.charge_actor_index, 

     * where index is the index of the hotkey

     * $gameSystem.patb.charge_actor_count must always be updated to maintain

     * the exact number of these hotkeys

     * The ith hotkey will try to select the charging actor with party member

     * index i - 1

     * Each of these hotkey must be a String

     * Using a keyboard mapping plugin, like Quasi Input, can be useful here

     */

    charging_actors: [

        // Setting these as the same as those in inputable_actors in the hotkey

        // addon would cause the buzzer sound to be played on valid cases too
