return;

<< < (2/3) > >>

MegaScientifical:
return; lets a command end by telling what called it a result. Example:

--- Code: ---function findClientByName(%name) {
for (%c = 0; %c < ClientGroup.getCount(); %c++) {
%client = ClientGroup.getObject(%c);
if(strStr(%client.name, %name))
return %client;
}
}
--- End code ---

It also immediately ends the command without continuing, which is what it is most used for.

if(%player.Admin $= "1");

return;

The return is triggered if the player has the variable Admin, and it equals 1? , stopping any further functionality after it?

can someone confirm this for me?

Since mega had to say some random stuff and didn't answer you, yes that's how it works

General:
I don't see what's wrong with Mega's answer? He explained exactly what return does...

In case he was unclear, return does exit the function... However it can also, in simple terms, transport a value from a function to another function if a value is inserted in front of "return". For example:

--- Code: ---function lol()
{
   return ":I";
}

function echoLol()
{
   %valueFromLolFunction = lol();
   echo(%valueFromLolFunction);
}

--- End code ---
When the "lol" function is called from the "echoLol" function, the value ":I" is returned to the "lol" function and is echoed into the console.

obviously judging by this topic, siba isn't very advanced into scripting. to a novice, mega's post looks like a bunch of crap shoved together. his example isn't some clear cut thing that will be "oh i see it now!"

return besically will end the function.

function testreturn()
{
echo("this gets shown");
return;
echo("this never gets shown");
}
if you type in testreturn(); the echo will not be shown. this is because the return ended the function.
