macOS AppleScript: Run process after "X" seconds of inactivity

[rock6079]

I'm working on an AppleScript/Automator process that will essentially act like a screensaver. I will include it as a login item and want it to execute after X seconds/minutes of inactivity (i.e. no keyboard or mouse movement)

1. If there is no input/activity from user then
2. Launch /Library/.....CustomSaver.app

Step 2 is quite easy but I cannot figure out how to get past step one, lol. any ideas/help?

Thanks!

I can do this with a shell script.

Command 1 &
sleep x (x = amount of time in seconds)
Command 2

use osascript from a shell script to run applescript
