Handling Return Values

[bloodylemming]

Trying to figure out how to get a return value from a function, so I can do stuff with it.

Here's my test function:

function addThis(a, b)
	Debug.chat("The sum is ")
	return (a + b)
end

The call...

function onValueChanged()
	local x = charManager.addThis(1, 25)
	Debug.chat(x)
end

I just get an error and none of my debug info is printed...
Tried it all local, from within the onValueChanged function (minus the charManager pointer) and it worked fine...

I don't know what I'm missing...

Where is your test function defined? Is it in an extension using a script tag with "charManager" (exactly) as the name? (i.e. <script name="charManager" file="..." /> )

Yes, it's in a script file named charManager.lua. Here's the entry under base.xml
<script name="charManager" file="campaign/scripts/charManager.lua" />

I have other functions in there, which are executing just fine.

When you get an error please report the *exact* error message - this will help with identifying the issue.

Strange. It's working now. Maybe the reboot helped clear something...
