I've defined a custom function in my Construct project. And yet when I go to the Functions menu it doesn't appear as an option.

Here's what the documentation says should happen:

Here are my functions:

And yet when I go to add one, I only see one function listed:

Is there something special that makes a function appear in the Functions menu?

By the way - I'm also having trouble calling any of those functions from within my code. I assume the two problems are related.

That same documentation also states this...

By default, functions have a return type of None, meaning they don't return any value. This also means they are used as actions. However if you set a return type of Number, String or Any, the function returns a value. This also means it is used as an expression instead, so it won't appear as an action.

So, change them to "None". 😉

Excellent! That makes sense. Don't know why I didn't see that before.
