How do I create a Function to Call?

Sorry, I'm sure this has been posted before, though I did try to search the forum for this.

I was looking through this part in the manual: https://www.scirra.com/manual/149/function. I like the idea of creating functions to save time on certain repetitive code/events. But I cannot for the life of me figure out where/how to add it to my event sheet.

When I click on System (event), there is no option for "On function". Likewise, there is no option in the actions for "Call function". I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, though.

Can anyone point me to where I can find how to add a function and call that function in my event sheet? Thanks in advance.

you need to add the Function 'object' to your project just like you would add Keyboard support. Then you will see it.

double click anywhere on the Layout and then click Function.. this will add it to the project.. then you can call Create Functions and use Actions to call them...

There's an on function and call function event and action respectively.

Wrote a small example here, that you might find useful.

Thank you, nimos100! I guess I didn't realize there was a function plugin to include for the project, that makes a lot more sense now. Also, I like your example in the other thread--I'll take a closer look when I get home and try this out.
