I'm trying to create a function that should return a short. Here is my test code:

Code:

---

short testfunc()
{
	return 100;
}
int main()
{
	testfunc();
}

---

This results in an error:

---

Error in 'MAIN' line 55: machine code generator: cannot translate SETRETV:::SHORT
< return 100; >

---

Am I doing something very stupid?

The manual says this:

While C-Script can only return a var, lite-C, C, or C++ can return any variable or pointer type. Instead of "function", the function is then defined with the returned type, like float, ENTITY*, or whatever.

Thank you, I'll use an int for now.

I noticed another quirk, although it might also have been reported before (couldn't find anything though):
Code:

---

// Works:
char chr = 5;
short shrt = chr;

// Fails:
char chr = 5;
short shrt = (short)chr;

---

The second piece of code gives me a "Cannot translate CONV:CHAR::SHORT" error. Kinda strange since implicit casting (without "(short)") seems to work fine.
