====== Client Scripting Interface - C++ How To ======
===== 1. Using Client Commands =====
===== 2. Writing to the Screen =====
To write to the screen, use [[http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/printf.html|printf([output string])]] followed by [[http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/fflush.html|fflush(stdout)]].

For example,
<code c++>
#include <cstdio>

int main(){
	printf("draw 4 Hello world\n");
	fflush(stdout);
	return 0;
}
</code>
would return [color=#FF0000]Hello world[/color].

There are several ways to achieve this.
==== 2.1 draw ====
<code c++>
printf("draw [number] [string]");
</code>
  * [number] - Integer between 1 and 12. See chart below for colors
  * [string] - String to output to client's window
draw allows you to output data to the client's screen in several different colors. draw should almost be used when debugging or outputting script data to the user, as the majority of the other output options use the server's chat features.
^  draw Colors  ^^^^^
^  #  ^  color  ^  ^  #  ^  color  ^

|  2  |  dark blue  |  |  8  |  very light green  |
|  3  |  red  |  |  9  |  grey  |
|  4  |  light yellow  |  |  10  |  brown  |
|  5  |  light blue  |  |  11  |  yellow  |
|  6  |  dark yellow  |  |  12  |  tan  |










====== Notes & Comments ======
This was written on a Linux machine. I have yet to run Crossfire on Windows, but I assume the syntax for coding will be the same. Running the scripts, on the other hand, might not be.
