CallOutputs return value?

Can self.component:CallOutput( "something" ) give a return value ?

Means that the in-function returns a value that is passed to the CallOutput return

 

Lua1.lua

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function Script:func()

local retval = self.component:CallOutput( "something" )

System:Print( retval ) -- prints "Hello" ?

end

 

Lua2.lua

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function Script:something()--in

return "Hello"

end

it can't at least directly. But you can do it with 3 functions.

 

1. the argument function:

function Script:something()--arg
return "Hello"
end

 

2. the output function:

function Script:Use()
self.component:CallOutputs("Use")
end

 

3. the receiving function:

function Script:Receive(yourvalue)--in
System:Print( yourvalue )
end

 

now just connect the use function with the receive function and drag the something function to the argument point in the flowgraph.

 

 

//edit:

just like in some of my scripts. For example this:
