Feature suggestion: Playback/looping through sequenced execution of Console Command strings

[tonikone]

Here is how this could work: There is a command list variable somewhere, say 'private list myCommands'.

• Enter console
• Type command: PushCommand "ConnectIk rhand1 head2". This adds the command string to myCommands, and maybe informs the user "Command pushed to command slot 1"
• Push a command delay": PushCommand "CommandDelay 0.3".
• Push another command: PushCommand "ResetIkForActors One". This adds a third command string to command list.
• Push a random command delay": PushCommand "CommandDelayRandom 0.3 1.0". This adds a command delay between 0.3 and one seconds.
• Enter command list playback mode: PlayCommandList Looped . This starts looped command list playback. Commands are executed with specified command time delays with looping.
• Enter a command to save myCommands to a Command List Preset: "SaveCommandSequence Preset_Name/Preset_Number"

Preset recall replaces command items in myCommands list. Some sort of command list append or randomizer system could be implemented. Single item lists with command delays could be a start for a simple action sequencer, for example. File I/O of preset files would make scene generators and modifiers possible with AI, shell scripting, CSV and remote server script access.

Simple Renpy-like scripting is well within reach. Injecting simple text tags into various outside world contexts could be helpful in automated pulling in of props, characters, images and so on. With zero scripting knowledge, that is. All one needs is an arbitrary text file with tag search passes for different tasks at hand.
