Idle object tracker

Check if an object has not moved (with some, customizable, tolerance) for a certain duration (1 second by default).

Authors and contributors to this community extension: 4ian.

This behavior tracks the object position and provides a condition to check if the object has been around the same position for a certain amount of time. It's useful to track objects that are not moving (or very little, at least staying around a position).

To use:

  • Add the behavior to your object.
  • Configure the distance tolerance and the amount of time before considering objects idle.
  • Use the conditions in your events to know when the object is idle (or when it has just moved).
