function whatever()
{
String Resultado;
...

"to sender" ??? ::) I dont understand it.
if i have this in my global script (my string was previously declared- String MyString; -)
MyString = whatever();It minds that "to sender" = MyString in this case?

The important difference in SSH's example is that the function is declared with the return type "String" rather than "function". Using "function" is the same as using return type "int".
whatever type you want to return must be infront of the custom functions name.
so:
//return a String:
String function_name (optional arguments)
{
...
return String; //String can be "Text" or an already declared String datatype
}
//return an int:
int function_name (optional arguments)
{
...
return int;
}
//you can also use float,byte,char
//return a bool:
bool function_name (opt arguments)
{
...
return bool;
}
//in all this functions you have to return a datatype
//but if you don't want to return anything then:
void function_name (optional arguments)
{
...
[return;] //you can write this but you don't need to
}
//the AGS-specific 'function' -function allows you to return ints or nothing (like void)
Quotethe AGS-specific 'function' -function allows you to return ints or nothing (ie void)
Actually, you can use
void if the function isn't supposed to return anything.
Like scotch said, "function" is a substitute for "int".
Very usefull posts. Thanks a lot for the help.
