Script to log messages from triggers

[Sickdog]

Hello mission builders:

 

I’m relatively new to ME, but in the past 2 months I’ve come pretty far learning triggers, creating some useful training missions as my buddy and i are still sharpening our skills with the hornet. My latest project is an F-18 carrier trap practice mission, inspired by the LSO mission that’s floating around here. I can start a new thread if anyone is interested in knowing more, but basically I have a pretty good series of triggers that play many LSO commands/sounds to help get that “OK” pass.

 

So as I get crazier into this mission, I’m creating my own spreadsheet to keep track of my “grade” and wire caught (I think it’s called a greenie board IRL??). I have a “Message to All” triggered for what wire is caught, and your grade based on deviations, but I’m tired of looking through my small nose hole in my Oculus to jot down my wire/grade. I was thinking there must be a way to script this with a write-to-file of the messages that are displayed from triggers. I’ve done a little searching and looked at MIST and MOOSE (along with a few others) but didn’t see (or know exactly) what I’m looking for.

 

Is this possible? And if so, anyone able to help me or guide me in the right direction? Again, I have no scripting/LUA experience, but I do have some programming experience.

 

Thanks!
