Ok, I've been trying to write this but I've very horrid with coding for this game. See, in this game you can build certain things off your ships and they go out to find things. What I wanted to do was make a class that I can enable, disable via button or just do it manually. The issue comes from the variable I would need to make and having it count. Here, I'll explain with using things from the game.

Helm reports heading at 1.1 degrees.
[Build Control]: Probe production started!
[Build Control]: Probe production completed!
[Sensors]: Probe is moving out.

When it would do the above, Helm reports, I wanted to have it automatically BUILD 9. Then when it says probe production complete, have it count by 0.1 up until of course 359.9, where it would then shut the class off automatically. Also, since in this game, to build things to build the probes, I wanted to see after each time to does helm reports, also have it auto type SUPPLY GO 4.

If any of the more skilled of coding could help me with this issue as I royally suck with it, I'd be much appreciated.

You'll need to explain a bit better exactly what you want the script to do, preferably as a numbered list. Your explanation was a bit confusing.

For now, know that %d in your trigger pattern probably won't match "1.1" since %d works the same as [0-9] - what you could do instead of %d is try [0-9.] or [0123456789.] for the wildcard.

Script:

(From the game)
Helm reports heading at 0.0 degrees.
(Script want it to do)
build 9
supply go 4
(From the game)
[Build Control]: Probe production completed!
(Script want it to do)
Add 0.1 to the degrees (Not sure how to set the variable, etc up) If it does not work, I will be satisified to work with 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0, etc.
Rot (New number from the variable)

- - This would then basically reset the loop to keep going. When the script finally hits this.
Helm reports heading at 359.0 degrees.
Helm reports heading at 359.9 degrees. (Only if you can do it with adding 0.1)
I want the class to build 9 one last time, resupply and then disable the class. this then making it to where I can set the ship to a specific point and let it build these probes.

It worked for the first part of it, but I think it didn't capture the the order of the probe production being completed. It does however capture the game's ship rotating.

Thank you for trying, I'm going to see if I can expand on what you had and see if I can do it.

Also, for some reason, it stops directly afterwards it does one, I tried to manually rotate and it won't pick up on the rotation either. Not sure.

Ooops, silly me trusting the convert-to-regex function!
