Created page with ";echo([miniconsoleName or labelName], text) :This function appends text at the end of the current line. ;Parameters * ''miniconsoleName:'' (optional) the miniconsole to echo..."

New page

;echo([miniconsoleName or labelName], text)
:This function appends text at the end of the current line.

;Parameters
* ''miniconsoleName:'' (optional) the miniconsole to echo to, or:
* ''labelName:'' (optional) the label to echo to.
* ''text:'' text you'd like to see printed. You can use \n in an echo to insert a new line. If you're echoing this to a label, you can also use styling to colour, center, increase/decrease size of text and various other formatting options [http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html as listed here].

;Example
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
-- a miniconsole example

-- first, determine the size of your screen
local windowWidth, windowHeight = getMainWindowSize()

-- create the miniconsole
createMiniConsole("sys", windowWidth-650,0,650,300)
setBackgroundColor("sys",255,69,0,255)
setMiniConsoleFontSize("sys", 8)
-- wrap lines in window "sys" at 40 characters per line - somewhere halfway, as an example
setWindowWrap("sys", 40)

echo("sys","Hello world!\n")
cecho("sys", "<:OrangeRed>This is random spam with the same background\n")
cecho("sys", "<blue:OrangeRed>and this is with a blue foreground. ")
cecho("sys", "<bisque:BlueViolet>Lastly, this is with both a foreground and a background.\n")
</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
-- a label example

-- This example creates a transparent overlay message box to show a big warning message "You are under attack!" in the middle
-- of the screen. Because the background color has a transparency level of 150 (0-255, with 0 being completely transparent
-- and 255 opaque) the background text can still be read through.
local width, height = getMainWindowSize()
createLabel("messageBox",(width/2)-300,(height/2)-100,250,150,1)
resizeWindow("messageBox",500,70)
moveWindow("messageBox", (width/2)-300,(height/2)-100 )
setBackgroundColor("messageBox", 255, 204, 0, 200)
echo("messageBox", [[<center>You are under attack!</center>]])
