Syntax

$funcReturn[value]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
value	The value to return (can contain inline functions, variables, etc.). Exactly one argument; an empty value is allowed.	Yes

Description

$funcReturn stores the return value of the function call that is currently running. When the body ends, if $funcReturn was executed at least once, the stored value is the result of $funcCall. If it was never executed, the text produced by the body is returned instead.

$funcReturn does not stop the function: the rest of the body still runs. Only the last $funcReturn executed matters — if several appear (for example inside conditionals), the last one executed wins.

Examples

Simple return

$func[greet;name]
$funcReturn[Hello $funcArg[name]!]
$funcEnd
$sendMessage[$funcCall[greet;World]]

Output: Hello World!

Without return — uses body text

$func[wave;who]Waving at $funcArg[who]...$funcEnd
$sendMessage[$funcCall[wave;Alice]]

Output: Waving at Alice...

Return with inline functions

$func[double;x]
$funcReturn[$calculate[$funcArg[x] * 2]]
$funcEnd
$sendMessage[$funcCall[double;21]]

Output: 42

Conditional return

$func[status;score]
$if[$checkCondition[$funcArg[score] >= 50]]
$funcReturn[Pass]
$else
$funcReturn[Fail]
$endif
$funcEnd
$sendMessage[Result: $funcCall[status;75]]

Output: Result: Pass

Notes

• $funcReturn is optional — functions work without it.
• $funcReturn itself outputs nothing.
• An empty $funcReturn[] makes the call return an empty text, even if the body produced text.
• Outside a function call it has no effect.
• The value is evaluated when $funcReturn runs, inside the function call.
