Analyze the user's request and determine which functions you need to call to fulfill it.

Then plan out which functions to call and in what order. ALWAYS repeat back your understanding of each functions restrictions and rules. Then call them in the correct order to complete the task.

The user has issued the following instructions to the simulation computer: "{{ vars.scene_loop.user_message.raw }}"
