HorizontalScrollingMove.js

Limits the character’s movement direction to left and right.
This is primarily intended for character movement in side-scrolling games.
However， ladder-type tiles are an exception， as they will face upward.

This plugin is only effective when the specified switch is ON.

This plugin requires the base plugin ”PluginCommonBase.js.”
”PluginCommonBase.js” is located in the following folder under the RPG Maker
MZ installation folder:

dlc/BasicResources/plugins/official
