EXTREMELY SIMPLE PAPYRUS QUESTION

[drmmrdude22]

Hi everyone! I was hoping someone out there may be kind enough to give me a pointer on why Papyrus HATES what I'm trying to do. Now, I'm relatively new to programming, but if you talk slow I'm pretty sure I can keep up. What I'm attempting to start off doing is simply create a function that adds 2 integers (floats, eventually), and return that value. Then, I want to take the return of that value, and assign it to another value.

 

Scriptname Trials extends ObjectReference

 

int Function AddTwo(int a, int b) global

return a + b

endFunction

 

int x = AddTwo(2,2)

 

Bonus points if you can help me figure out how to do this with using the RandomFloat() function.

 

I truly appreciate it guys! Happy Modding!

Just kidding guys, I figured it out. Honestly though, someone (probably will be me eventually) needs to go and fix half the articles on the wiki, they are straight wrong and completely misreading.

Hi,

From what I see this function makes the sum of the values ​​of a + b and names it "AddTwo".

So everytime you want the sum of a+b you ave only to use the function AddTwo.

int Function AddTwo(int a, int b) global
return a + b
endFunction

 

Is the same as in C++

 

I'm relative new to Papyrus me too but this string seems wrong.

int x = AddTwo(2,2)

 

I would have previously define the Integer:

Int a = 2

Int b = 2

 

int Function AddTwo(int a, int b) global

return a + b

endFunction

 

Int x = AddTwo

 

 

I hope to have help you

Nope, it's perfectly correct. What is wrong is that this statement cannot be called outside of an event block or function :tongue: .

 

Scriptname Trials extends ObjectReference

int Function AddTwo(int a, int b) global
    return a + b
endFunction

Event OnInit()
   int x = AddTwo(2,2) 
   debug.trace("The answer is " + x)
EndEvent
