In c-script, how do I pass a var by reference and value? What about making a function return a value? Thanks.

By value: function func(my_var) {...}
By reference: function func(&my_var) {...}

By using '&' you can also pass arrays as parameters.

function func(my_var) {
return(my_var*2);
}

In C-Script you can return vars only.
However, as vars can also be used to save pointers you can return pointers to entities, strings a.s.o. as well.

Error(0): Syntax error - local var can't be passed as vector.

I get this error when I try to pass as reference. My code looks a little like this...

Function Main {
var momentum=0;
jump(momentum);
}

Function jump(&momentum) {
...
}

Local vars are vars that have been created insinde the function.
Move 'var momentun=0;' before your function main() and it'll work. (This way you'll make it a global var)

That's a quick fix to the problem, but I'd like to avoid using global variables. Too many globals are a sign of bad programming...
