  • If I understand right, it just means you can't call a return-value function without caring about its return value (Logical, sure, but C2 gave you a lot more flexibility)

    In C2 I'm sure that I could call this function without worrying about its return value:

    But in C3, it seems like I have to do this:

  • Thanks for the quick reply!

    But if these functions can only be called as expressions, doesn't that mean they can't be used for anything else (actions like changing animation, adjusting effects, etc)?

  • (I'm still getting used to the C3 functions, so I may be missing something obvious)

    I have a function called "SetNextRoom" which (among other things) is supposed to return a number. I've set its return type to "Number.

    But when I try to reference this function, it doesn't appear on the function list with the others.

    And when I set the return type to "None", it suddenly appears on the list.

    I'm used to this in C2 — am I missing something?

  • This is fantastic! What a great approach... so much simpler looking backwards. This has really helped me out.

    Never sure how to say a proper thanks, but thanks very much!

  • I've been building a baseball game based off this great ball formula from rojohound, and I'm now building the AI that needs to chase the ball.

    What I've been trying to figure out is a way to predict where the ball will end up, and have the AI move to that location (rather than needlessly chasing the ball's current location).

    I've tried making a second copy of the ball, and multiplying the values in the formula, but I'm getting lost in the math and can't get it to slow down properly.

    If anyone has any thoughts or insight, it's much appreciated!
