Dynamic lighting, In-game paint customizers, In-game brick makers(last 2 single player only), Dynamic physics(explosions that don't travel through walls), smooth particle effects, Sound dampening wall thickness(10 block thick wall will let more sound in than a 20 block thick wall), Updated game launching(so i dont wait 20 mins for it to sort out add-on errors.), Vehicle Physics(drifting at high speeds, loss of turning at high speed, tunnel vision at very high speed, flipping at ludicrous speed turns, explodes after 30 second being flipped..etc...).

They end the function (stops any code below the statement from running) and give back a value.
For example, if you did echo( getPlayerScore( "some name" ) ); - the value that would be echoed is the value that was specified in the return statement.

This will never happen unless it's done by the community, which would violate Blockland's license anyway. In any case, we can get player counts above 99 without crashing, record is somewhere around 128 (2012 party).

Is that cake on profiles a default functionality? If not, how did you do that?

EDIT: What are the returns for?

No. spawnPlayer returns the created player object. Do not use that code, you will break other add-ons.

Code: [Select]

Always, always, always check to see if the parent returns a value when packaging a function or you will break core functionality.

P.S. It violates coding semantics to start a variable with a capital letter.

Last time I used it, ::spawnPlayer returned the client. ::createPlayer returns the new player.

You didn't package it. Also, if you only want to do this when they finish loading, use ::onClientEnterGame instead.

Code: [Select]

function getPlayerScore( %name )

     %count = NPL_List.rowCount();
     
     for ( %i = 0 ; %i < %count ; %i++ )
     {
          %row = NPL_List.getRowText( %i );
          
          if ( getField( %row, 1 ) $= %name )
          {
               return getField( %row, 2 );
          }
     }
     
     return 0;
