Dynamic roof removal at the hovered mouse position

[BU]

A small enhancement that's inspired by the 'hover' option provided in Roof Removal plugin that's bundled with the latest Runelite.

• The goal is to hide roofs at the world tile that your mouse is currently hovering over.
  • Video example of the hover option available in the Roof Removal Plugin:
        https://runelite.net/img/blog/1.7.16-Release/roof-removal-plugin.mp4

 

The way the mentioned plugin works is by modifying the roof removal flags to include 'Hover' - I added a post that links to the source of this plugin for more details on how that works.

So, I would love if you added this small QoL feature and I'm presuming this wouldn't be too much work to accomplish as the plugin is pretty small; though I should mention there are two ways to accomplish this enhancement as a plugin if modifying the roof removal flags is not an easy approach for your Runelite branch...

• Approach A:  Update/modify roof removal flags on game state change (this is more efficient as it only needs to run once each game state)
• Approach B:  Trigger removal of the specific roof above the hovered tile;  Using a screen-to-world method to get the tile that's at your mouse position (from mouse movement event), then check tile flags for the 'TILE_FLAG_UNDER_ROOF' (aka 4)

Based this on reading the plugin source (linked below in the first post) and referring to the Runelite Constants here: 
    https://github.com/runelite/runelite/blob/master/runelite-api/src/main/java/net/runelite/api/Constants.java

Let me know if it's already planned or if you are open to having me write a proof of concept that is compatible with your Runelite branch, happy to help anyway I can.

To be more specific, here is the RoofRemovalPlugin responsible for this enhancement --
    ROOF_FLAG_HOVERED is the key part of the original suggestion, but the other parts of the plugin are useful too, if you wish to integrate all of it:
