rock on! Hey! it is great to have you here, to be sure
.
You are miles better than most of the idiot kids I have to deal with , lol, and you seem to have some good potential, and already a good understanding.
This forum is VERY helpfull to new scripters, we arent very big on leachers who just mooch off of our hard work, but we LOVE it when people want to learn how to script and code here.
To start off, you already seem to have a VERY good idea of what your script will need to do, obviously, putting that into code will take a little bit of learning, but you are already on your way to a good start. You need a plan before you can do anything, lol.
Now, commng from no programming background, what is going to help you allot is reading a few of the begininer tutorials, and then trying them out yourself.
(make sure you do it on a test account, because beginer script will be far from stealth)
Once you start getting the hang of how to script, you can begin to use the srl library to simplify the steps.
SRL has functions already made for you to help you do stuff (like detect colors, and text, etc) as you have already noticed.
I belive this site has a link to a list of all the functions, what they do, and how to use them, this wil be EXTREAMLY helpfull to you.
Anyhow, if you have any sort of instant messaging, feel free to add me, and ill help give you a push in the right direction.
Good luck, welcome, and enjoy your stay DD
