Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/logging

Demonstrates how to use the logger within a plugin's Main function to log messages at different levels. Ensure the logger is initialized before use.

```cpp
#include <RED4ext/RED4ext.hpp>

RED4EXT_C_EXPORT bool RED4EXT_CALL Main(RED4ext::PluginHandle aHandle, RED4ext::EMainReason aReason, const RED4ext::Sdk* aSdk)
{
    switch (aReason)
    {
    case RED4ext::EMainReason::Load:
    {
        aSdk->logger->Trace(aHandle, "Hello World!");
        aSdk->logger->TraceF(aHandle, "Hello %s!", "World");

        break;
    }
    case RED4ext::EMainReason::Unload:
    {
        break;
    }
    }

    return true;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Example red4ext Configuration

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/getting-started/configuration

This TOML configuration file sets up logging, plugin system, and development options for red4ext. Ensure the file is placed in the correct directory for the game to load it.

```toml
version = 0

[logging]
level = "info"
flush_on = "info"
max_files = 5
max_file_size = 10

[plugins]
enabled = true
ignored = [ "RED4ext.Playgorund" ]

[dev]
console = false
wait_for_debugger = false
```

--------------------------------

### Add red-cli commands to CMakeLists.txt

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/installing-a-plugin-with-red-cli

Configure CMake to automatically run 'red-cli install' in Debug mode and 'red-cli pack' in Release mode after building. This automates plugin installation and archive creation.

```cmake
## Debug mode: install scripts (+ tests) and plugin in game folder.
## Release mode: create archive with bundled scripts and plugin.
add_custom_command(
        TARGET ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}
        POST_BUILD
        WORKING_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}"
        COMMENT "$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Install scripts with red-cli>" "$<$<CONFIG:Release>:Build archive with red-cli>"
        COMMAND "$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:red-cli;install>" "$<$<CONFIG:Release>:red-cli;pack>"
        COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS
)
```

### Use Native Function in Redscript

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/adding-a-native-function

Instantiate your custom class and call the native function from Redscript. This example demonstrates logging the result of the native function call.

```swift
public class MyCustomClassPrinter extends ScriptableSystem {
    public func OnAttach() -> Void {
        LogChannel(n"DEBUG", "Hello!");
        let c = new CustomController();
        let vector = new Vector4(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);
        let num = 50;
        LogChannel(n"DEBUG", "Number: " + FloatToString(c.GetNumber(vector, num)));
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Plugin Entry Point with RedLib

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-plugin-with-redlib

Sets up the main entry point for a RED4ext plugin using RedLib. Includes handling of plugin load and unload events and registering discovered types.

```cpp
/// File: src\main.cpp

#include <RED4ext/RED4ext.hpp>
// You must include RedLib. Note that it introduces an alias
// such as namespace RED4ext can be replaced by Red.
#include <RedLib.hpp>

RED4EXT_C_EXPORT bool RED4EXT_CALL Main(RED4ext::PluginHandle aHandle,
                                        RED4ext::EMainReason aReason,
                                        const RED4ext::Sdk* aSdk) {
  switch (aReason)  {
  case RED4ext::EMainReason::Load: {
    // It will automatically register types declared below.
    Red::TypeInfoRegistrar::RegisterDiscovered();
    break;
  }
  case RED4ext::EMainReason::Unload: {
    break;
  }
  }
  return true;
}

// ...
```

--------------------------------

### RED4ext Plugin Entry Point and Information

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-plugin

This C++ code defines the core functions for a RED4ext plugin: Main for handling plugin lifecycle events (load/unload), Query for providing plugin metadata, and Supports for indicating API version compatibility. Use Main for initialization and cleanup, and Query to set plugin details like name, author, and version.

```cpp
#include <RED4ext/RED4ext.hpp>

RED4EXT_C_EXPORT bool RED4EXT_CALL Main(RED4ext::PluginHandle aHandle, RED4ext::EMainReason aReason, const RED4ext::Sdk* aSdk)
{
    switch (aReason)
    {
    case RED4ext::EMainReason::Load:
    {
        // Attach hooks, register RTTI types, add custom states or initalize your application.
        // DO NOT try to access the game's memory at this point, it is not initalized yet.
        break;
    }
    case RED4ext::EMainReason::Unload:
    {
        // Free memory, detach hooks.
        // The game's memory is already freed, to not try to do anything with it.
        break;
    }
    }

    return true;
}

RED4EXT_C_EXPORT void RED4EXT_CALL Query(RED4ext::PluginInfo* aInfo)
{
    aInfo->name = L"Plugin's name";
    aInfo->author = L"Author's name";
    aInfo->version = RED4EXT_SEMVER(1, 0, 0); // Set your version here.
    aInfo->runtime = RED4EXT_RUNTIME_LATEST;
    aInfo->sdk = RED4EXT_SDK_LATEST;
}

RED4EXT_C_EXPORT uint32_t RED4EXT_CALL Supports()
{
    return RED4EXT_API_VERSION_LATEST;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Hook RTTI Registration Callbacks (C++)

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-custom-native-class

Integrate the type registration and parent setting functions into the RED4ext plugin's main entry point by hooking them using RTTIRegistrator::Add.

```cpp
RED4EXT_C_EXPORT bool RED4EXT_CALL Main(RED4ext::PluginHandle aHandle,
    RED4ext::EMainReason aReason, RED4ext::RED4ext* aRED4ext)
{
    switch (aReason)
    {
        case RED4ext::EMainReason::Load:
        {
            RED4ext::RTTIRegistrator::Add(RegisterTypes, PostRegisterTypes);
            break;
        }
        case RED4ext::EMainReason::Unload:
        {
            break;
        }
    }
    
    return true;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Test Zoo System in RedScript

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-plugin-with-redlib

Implements a 'ZooSystem' in RedScript that creates and manages a collection of 'Wolf' objects. It demonstrates how to instantiate native classes, call their methods, and log information to the game console.

```swift
/// File: scripts\ZooTest.reds

import Zoo.*

public class ZooSystem extends ScriptableSystem {
  private let m_animals: array<ref<Animal>>;

  private func OnAttach() {
    // Create a pack of wolves.
    ArrayPush(this.m_animals, new Wolf());
    ArrayPush(this.m_animals, new Wolf());
    ArrayPush(this.m_animals, new Wolf());
    ArrayPush(this.m_animals, new Wolf());

    for animal in this.m_animals {
      LogChannel(n"Info", s"Class name: s\(animal.GetClassName())");
      LogChannel(n"Info", "");
      LogChannel(n"Info", s"Can fly? s\(animal.CanFly())");
      LogChannel(n"Info", s"Can walk? s\(animal.CanWalk())");
      LogChannel(n"Info", s"Is carnivore? s\(animal.IsCarnivore())");
      LogChannel(n"Info", s"Is herbivore? s\(animal.IsHerbivore())");
      let wolf = animal as Wolf;

      LogChannel(n"Info", "");
      LogChannel(n"Info", s"Can hunt? \(wolf.CanHunt())");
      LogChannel(n"Info", "");
    }
  }

  private func OnDetach() {
    ArrayClear(this.m_animals);
  }

}
```

--------------------------------

### Registering Custom Game States

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/custom-game-states

This C++ code demonstrates how to register custom game states for BaseInitialization and Shutdown using the RED4ext SDK. It defines the OnEnter, OnUpdate, and OnExit functions for these states.

```cpp
#include <RED4ext/RED4ext.hpp>

bool BaseInit_OnEnter(RED4ext::CGameApplication* aApp)
{
    return true;
}

bool BaseInit_OnUpdate(RED4ext::CGameApplication* aApp)
{
    static uint32_t i = 0;
    if (i == 3)
    {
        return true;
    }

    i++;
    return false;
}

bool BaseInit_OnExit(RED4ext::CGameApplication* aApp)
{
    return true;
}

bool Shutdown_OnUpdate(RED4ext::CGameApplication* aApp)
{
    static uint32_t i = 0;
    if (i == 3)
    {
        return true;
    }

    i++;
    return false;
}

RED4EXT_C_EXPORT bool RED4EXT_CALL Main(RED4ext::PluginHandle aHandle, RED4ext::EMainReason aReason, const RED4ext::Sdk* aSdk)
{
    switch (aReason)
    {
    case RED4ext::EMainReason::Load:
    {
        RED4ext::GameState initState;
        initState.OnEnter = &BaseInit_OnEnter;
        initState.OnUpdate = &BaseInit_OnUpdate;
        initState.OnExit = &BaseInit_OnExit;

        aSdk->gameStates->Add(aHandle, RED4ext::EGameStateType::BaseInitialization, &initState);
        
        RED4ext::GameState shutdownState;
        shutdownState.OnEnter = nullptr;
        shutdownState.OnUpdate = &Shutdown_OnUpdate;
        shutdownState.OnExit = nullptr;

        aSdk->gameStates->Add(aHandle, RED4ext::EGameStateType::Shutdown, &shutdownState);

        break;
    }
    case RED4ext::EMainReason::Unload:
    {
        break;
    }
    }

    return true;
}

```

--------------------------------

### Declare Wolf Class Inheriting from Animal with RedLib

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-plugin-with-redlib

Defines a 'Wolf' class that inherits from 'Animal'. Overrides base class methods and adds a new 'CanHunt' method. Uses RedLib's RTTI macros for class registration.

```cpp
/// File: src\Wolf.hpp

#include <RedLib.hpp>

#include "Animal.hpp"

class Wolf : public Animal {
public:
  //Wolf() = default;

  bool CanWalk() const override {
    return true;
  }

  bool IsCarnivore() const override {
    return true;
  }

  bool CanHunt() const {
    return true;
  }

  RTTI_IMPL_TYPEINFO(Wolf);
  RTTI_IMPL_ALLOCATOR();
};

RTTI_DEFINE_CLASS(Wolf, {
  RTTI_ALIAS("Zoo.Wolf");

  RTTI_PARENT(Animal);

  // Redeclare methods you override.
  RTTI_METHOD(CanWalk);
  RTTI_METHOD(is_carnivore, "IsCarnivore");

  RTTI_METHOD(CanHunt);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Define Native Function in C++

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/adding-a-native-function

Implement the C++ function that will be exposed to Redscript. Ensure correct parameter handling using `RED4ext::GetParameter` and manage the stack frame.

```cpp
void GetNumber(RED4ext::IScriptable* aContext, RED4ext::CStackFrame* aFrame,
    float* aOut, int64_t a4)
{
    RED4ext::Vector4 worldPosition;
    int32_t count;
    
    RED4ext::GetParameter(aFrame, &worldPosition);
    RED4ext::GetParameter(aFrame, &count);
    aFrame->code++; // skip ParamEnd
    
    if (aOut)
    {
        *aOut = 6.25;
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Instantiate and Define Native Type (C++)

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-custom-native-class

Use the TTypedClass template to create an instance representing your custom class within RED4ext's RTTI system. Implement GetNativeType to return a reference to this instance.

```cpp
RED4ext::TTypedClass<CustomController> customControllerClass("CustomController");

RED4ext::CClass* CustomController::GetNativeType()
{
    return &customControllerClass;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Declare Generic Animal Class with RedLib

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-plugin-with-redlib

Defines a base 'Animal' class inheriting from Red::IScriptable, with virtual methods for behavior and a position property. Uses RedLib's RTTI macros for class registration.

```cpp
/// File: src\Animal.hpp

#include <RED4ext/Scripting/Natives/Generated/Vector4.hpp>
#include <RedLib.hpp>

class Animal : public Red::IScriptable {
public:
  //Animal() = default;

  virtual bool CanFly() const {
    return false;
  }
  virtual bool CanWalk() const {
    return false;
  }

  virtual bool is_carnivore() const {
    return false;
  }
  virtual bool is_herbivore() const {
    return false;
  }

  Red::Vector4 position{};

  RTTI_IMPL_TYPEINFO(Animal);
  RTTI_IMPL_ALLOCATOR();
}

RTTI_DEFINE_CLASS(Animal, {
  // You only need to add an alias when declaring scripts 
  // with 'module' and 'import' keywords.
  RTTI_ALIAS("Zoo.Animal");

  RTTI_ABSTRACT();

  RTTI_METHOD(CanFly);
  RTTI_METHOD(CanWalk);

  // You can use another name to declare instead.
  RTTI_METHOD(is_carnivore, "IsCarnivore");
  RTTI_METHOD(is_herbivore, "IsHerbivore");
  
  RTTI_GETTER(position);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Define Custom Native Class Structure (C++)

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-custom-native-class

Define the basic structure of your custom native class by inheriting from RED4ext::IScriptable. This struct serves as the C++ representation of your class.

```cpp
struct CustomController : RED4ext::IScriptable
{
    RED4ext::CClass* GetNativeType();
};
```

--------------------------------

### Register Native Function in C++

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/adding-a-native-function

Register the C++ native function with your custom class in the `PostRegisterTypes` callback. This involves creating a `CClassFunction` object and setting its properties.

```cpp
RED4EXT_C_EXPORT void RED4EXT_CALL PostRegisterTypes()
{
   // This section is from the previous page.
   auto rtti = RED4ext::CRTTISystem::Get();
   auto scriptable = rtti->GetClass("IScriptable");
   customControllerClass.parent = scriptable;

   auto getNumber = RED4ext::CClassFunction::Create(&customControllerClass, 
       "GetNumber", "GetNumber", &GetNumber, { .isNative = true });
   getNumber->AddParam("Vector4", "worldPosition");
   getNumber->AddParam("Int32", "count");
   getNumber->SetReturnType("Float");
   customControllerClass.RegisterFunction(getNumber);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Register Custom Type with RTTI (C++)

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-custom-native-class

Register your custom type with the RED4ext RTTI system during the plugin's load phase. This makes the class known to the game's runtime type information.

```cpp
void RegisterTypes()
{
    RED4ext::CRTTISystem::Get()->RegisterType(&customControllerClass);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Set Custom Class Parent (C++)

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-custom-native-class

After initial registration, manually set the parent class of your custom type to IScriptable to ensure correct inheritance in the RTTI system.

```cpp
void PostRegisterTypes()
{
   auto rtti = RED4ext::CRTTISystem::Get();
   auto scriptable = rtti->GetClass("IScriptable");
   customControllerClass.parent = scriptable;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Declare Native Function in Redscript

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/adding-a-native-function

Declare the native function within your Redscript class using the `native` keyword. The signature should match the C++ implementation.

```swift
public native class CustomController extends IScriptable {
    public native func GetNumber(worldPosition: Vector4, count: Int32) -> Float;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Declare Native Animal Types in RedScript

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-plugin-with-redlib

Declares native 'Animal' and 'Wolf' classes in RedScript, mirroring the C++ definitions. This allows these types to be used within the game's scripting environment.

```swift
/// File: scripts\Zoo.reds

// Again, declaring native types within a module
// is not required.
module Zoo

public abstract native class Animal extends IScriptable {
  public native func CanFly() -> Bool;
  public native func CanWalk()-> Bool;

  public native func IsCarnivore() -> Bool;
  public native func IsHerbivore() -> Bool;

  public native func GetPosition() -> Vector4;
}

public native class Wolf extends Animal {
  // You don't need to redeclare methods of the parent,
  // even when you override them.

  // But you have to declare new methods.
  public native func CanHunt() -> Bool;
}
```

--------------------------------

### Declare Native Class in Redscript

Source: https://docs.red4ext.com/mod-developers/creating-a-custom-native-class

Declare the corresponding native class in Redscript, extending IScriptable. This declaration makes the C++ class accessible from Redscript scripts.

```swift
public native class CustomController extends IScriptable {

}
```
