That can be resolved through variables, can't it?
ie, when the player starts moving, the variable is set to 1. When the player stops moving, the variable is set to 0.
HideUI() checks the variable and only hides it when the value equals 0.
This way, if the player starts moving, it will register PLAYER_STARTED_MOVING, and then after 3 seconds it won't be able to hide the UI because the variable's value will be 1.
However, I don't know for sure if it will work that way and if it will, whether or not it will be a constantly checking script. Makes me think of the mouse position checker solution.
