# IdleSpectator

WorldBox NeoModLoader mod: AFK Idle Spectator camera director.

## Controls

- **I** - toggle Idle Spectator on/off
- **F9** - toggle Character Chronicle side panel (non-modal; works with focus)
- Dragging the camera while Spectator is on turns it off (after a short grace period)

## What it follows

The camera follows **ranked events** from live feeds (wars, fights, relationships, buildings, statuses, plots, …).
`EventStrength` decides who wins; quieter events still take the shot when nothing stronger is pending.
Character fill only runs when the event queue is empty (no orange reason; task chip shows the live job).

While watching, a **dossier caption** shows who they are and an orange **event sentence** (why the camera is here), e.g. `Kaszus is fighting Waaaf`.
See [`docs/event-reason.md`](docs/event-reason.md).

Lingering on someone writes a **Chronicle** line; F9 lists them and click jumps the camera.

## Layout

- `IdleSpectator/` - mod source (`mod.json` + C#), loaded/compiled by NML
- `scripts/verify-nml.sh` - load verification helper
- `docs/event-reason.md` - events-own-camera + EventReason contract

ln -sfn "$(pwd)/IdleSpectator" \
  "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/worldbox/Mods/IdleSpectator"
