Notetags

*    ## Notetag Info

*       1. Among all the same notetag types in the same data, only the 1st

*          can be effective

*       2. Each line can only have at most 1 notetag

*       3. The following is the structure of all notetags in this plugin:

*          - <doublex rmmz countdown states contents>

*          - <countdown states contents>

*          Where contents are in the form of type suffixes: entries

*          Either of the above can be used, but the 1st one reduce the chance

*          of causing other plugins to treat the notetags of this plugin as

*          theirs, while the 2nd one is more user-friendly

*          - type is one of the following:

*            1. interval

*          - suffixes is the list of suffixes in the form of:

*            suffix1 suffix2 suffix3 ... suffixn

*            Where each suffix is either of the following:

*            val(The notetag value will be used as-is)

*            switch(The value of the game switch with id as the notetag value

*                   will be used)

*            var(The value of the game variable with id as the notetag value

*                will be used)

*            (Advanced)script(The value of the game variable with id as the

*                            notetag value will be used as the contents of

*                            the functions to be called upon using the

*                            notetag)

*          - The this pointer of the script suffix is the battler involved

*            (Game_Battler.prototype)

*          - entries is the list of entries in the form of:

*            entry1, entry2, entry3, ..., entryn

*            Where entryi must conform with the suffixi specifications

*----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*    # State Notetags

*      1. interval condSuffix intervalSuffix: condEntry, intervalEntry

*         - Sets the state to be a countdown state having its turn counter

*           updated with interval being the returned value of intervalEntry

*           in TPBS if condEntry returns a truthy result

*         - condSuffix can be val, switch or script

*         - intervalEntry can be val, var or script

*         - The result of condEntry can be anything as only whether it's

*           truthy matters

*         - If the result of condEntry is falsy, this notetag will be

*           discarded upon such use cases

*         - The result of intervalEntry must be a Number

*         - intervalEntry being positive means the state turn counter will be

*           decreased every intervalEntry seconds

*         - intervalEntry being 0 means the state turn counter will be frozen

*         - intervalEntry being negative means the state turn counter will be

*           increased every intervalEntry seconds

*         - E.g.:

*           <countdown states interval switch val: 1, 2> will set the state

*           to be a countdown state having its turn counter decreased every

*           2 seconds if the game switch with id 1 is on

Author Notes
DoubleX RMMZ State Triggers can be useful when setting some events to happen upon updating the countdown state turn counters
