Hey guys, i would like to know, how I can solve that problem. I need a result of a function, that contains a while loop for example:
function sec_func(var param1)
{
var i = 0;
var new_value = 0;
while(i < 1000)
{
i++;
new_value += getValue(i);
}
return new_value;
}
function first_func()
{
var my_value = 0;
while(1)
{
my_value = sec_func(50); //no correct result
wait(1);
}
}
The above code is just only an example. My problem is, that I dont get the correct result of sec_func, because the function need to much time to give me a correct result. How can I manage that? Regards, NJ

For readability I would replace the while loop with a for loop, cause there is another strange thing I notice; you do i++ even before you use the 'i' variable in the array, so getValue[0] never gets used (also use square brackets for arrays not ()).

@Aku_Aku: Oh sorry, yes right. param1 is not used xD This is only an example. I dont need this code for something. Iam very interested, how I can manage that, if I need a result of a function, that contains a while loop and need more time to finish. The problem is, that the script dont waiting for the other functions. My only idea is to make a global variable, save the result of the second function in it and wait in the first function for a value. Or can I use wait_for for that? my_value = sec_func(50); must wait for the sec_func to complete. You know what i mean? @Reconnoiter: Yes of course. Thats only an example. This -> my_value = sec_func(50); is important for me. The script should be wait for a result of a second function. It gives me an incorrect result, cause the loop need more time to run... Oh i hope you understand  Sorry for my bad english xD

Ah okay. Anyway you probably use/used a wait() somewhere in your original 'sec_func' before returning the value. Otherwise is should work. Yes i tried that but the manual says: A function that contains a wait loop can not return a parameter, because wait() already returns to the calling function before the final return statement is excecuted. And thats my problem. Thats why i think about a workaround.

If you want to wait for finishing of a function you should do this way:
function first_func()
{
var my_value = 0;
while(1)
{
my_value = sec_func(50); //no correct result
wait_for(sec_func);
wait(1);
}
}
In hope i understood you.
