Return outside of function

So i am running into a issue with the syntax checker. the error message it's giving me is 'return outside of function'. which is a bit of untrue. all inline block of javascript are wrapped inside functions, in ScriptInEvents.js file, they are all wrapped in async functions.

why are we not allowed to break out of the code block? it seems a bit unnecessary to wrap my logic in another function. I would also like to avoid as much nesting as a can.

is this intended behavior? or should i file this as a bug?

If I'm understanding correctly, you have a js file with functions. Inside of those functions, you're calling art return value?

I'm guessing that's not allowed because construct cannot know that you only plan to use those functions wrapped in function events.

Could you return values from your js functions, and then use inline event block js to call set return value, using the returned value from you js function?

no not from a file from inside an event block, you can have inline javascript code inside events, internally c3 in wrapping those in a function.

Example of what i mean

drive.google.com/open

drive.google.com/open

Not at a computer right now, but I understand what you're saying.

That's a good question! Construct probably still treats those functions like it would any other.

It would be pretty neat to support this though.

Didnt realize that those links were just screenshots.

Yeah that's valid JS. Seems like an issue. Might want to file a bug, like you had initially mentioned.

created issue about this here: https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/3675
