So I guess I gotta do the work around, caus I need the wait. (Caus there is a while loop in the function, so there is automaticly a wait(1); )

---

i = 0;
while(i<20)
{
   i += 1;
}

function gimme_a_return()
{
  wait(-1);
  return(2);
}

function test_return()
{
  var i;
  i = gimme_a_return();
  while(!i) { wait(1); }
  //do stuff with i
}
