Functions (API)

There is still documentation to be done here!! If you feel up to the task, please have a go at it. Specifically what needs to be added is: Fill in articles for all API Functions

BZFS API Documentation This page contains part of the BZFS API documentation for use by Plug-ins on the BZFS server.

Overview

The BZFS API provides a number of functions to plug-ins for use in querying the current game state. Functions are used both to get information about the game, and to trigger in game actions, such as activating a world weapon.

Function Groups

Functions are broken into a series of groups based on the type of action or information they deal with.
