Code: function calc(var a, var b) { var c = a+b; return(c); } C is given back Actions are nearly the same as functions (you can assign a void or a function to an entity, too). But actions are displayed in the WED Action list.. functions and voids not. Selling my Acknex Engine Editions (A7 Com & A8 Pro): >> click here if you are interested <<

Not quite right, void is simply a signal that the function won't return anything. That doesn't mean that 'return c' wouldn't work, it would still move the content of c into eax and the caller could use the returned argument. @OP: The thing before the function name is a signal about what the function will return to you, for example you can also have: Code: int calc(int a, int b); Or any other valid data type* *except of structs, they can't be returned on the stack by Lite-C. However, you don't want to return stuff larger than the word width of the processor for performance reasons! Shitlord by trade and passion. Graphics programmer at Laminar Research.
