Feature idea: macro

I know little of how much work it would be to implement this, but the groundwork is at least in place: Celx scripting and CelUrls.

A "macro" function:
This would be a function to record your location in time and space, together with the FOV, and the ability to save it in an XYZ-like file format. The difference between the CelUrl and this one is, of course, that it records your movement, from start to stop. It would be much like having Celestia generate a script for you. How cool would it not be to be able to record an event in Celestiaspace to a tiny text file one can distribute? I can see many interesting applications for this...

Is it feasible?

Have you tried my FlightOverMars.celx? You can find it under the scripts section in the Motherlode. It does (more or less) what you asked for. I created it with another script that I can upload also.

That's probably also mine.
