I'm making a 100% TAS of SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini bottom, and trying to recreate a trick only two other people (who are both also inactive on social media) in the community have ever successfully pulled off. Documentation is limited, and blindly attempting it using my best educated guess as to how it works isn't getting me anywhere, so I'd like to make a brute force script in the fork of Dolphin that supports Lua scripting. However, I know nothing about coding, and when I've tried to learn, I've always made very little progress. So, I'm looking for someone who would be willing to write one for me. It would need to be capable of feeding inputs into Dolphin, loading a save state to retry if it fails (this would be check by checking the in game golden spatula counter every X number of frames, if it hasn't increased, reload), reading position, momentum, and stick angle data, and making slight adjustments to the position and stick angle on every consecutive reload. If it could also make note of which sequences of inputs, stick angle, etc resulted in the spatula being successfully collected, that would be helpful, so that I could just leave it running while I'm asleep or something, and check it in the morning. I know this is a tall order, but I'm at my wit's end here. This is a last ditch effort, before just ripping the footage from one of the other two TASes that have done it.
