set local or no to set

[Equal]

Hi there ... so

i just wanna know if it matters:


function Trig_asfd_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local unit toteEinheit = GetDyingUnit()
call TriggerSleepAction( 20.00 )
call ReviveHeroLoc( toteEinheit, GetRectCenter(GetPlayableMapRect()), false )
endfunction


in the local line the

local unit toteEinheit = GetDyingUnit()

so does it matters if i write it so or so:

set local unit toteEinheit = GetDyingUnit()

or is it ok to write it without the set cuz i define it at begining?

pls some help

[Totti_8]

Its:

local unit toteEinheit = GetDyingUnit()

[Equal]

so when i use the "set" ?

a example would be nice.
thx for HELP

Never use "set" in your local variable declarations

The only time you use "set" is if the variable can potentially be altered beause of a condition OR you're nullifying it:

ex:
function example takes nothing returns nothing
local integer i = 1
if (Condition) then
set i = i*1.2
else
set i = i*1.5
endif
endfunction

wow thx thats what i just wanna know ^^ great , ...

ehm jeah i have another question (not rili one)

why does i need endfunction if i have return and it will never reach the end ?
or does it jump from return instantly to endfunction so i need it anyway?

Are you talking about

function x takes nothing returns boolean
return(_______)
endfunction

?

[Equal]

no i was talking about if i write :

function x takes nothing returns boolean
return(_______)

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

is the same as i write
function x takes nothing returns boolean
return(_______)
endfunction

......
but after time ^^ and learning i just get it that the endfunktion is a needed
part of it so just forget it ^^ and THX

[Aero]

You need to have an endfunction because when the script compiles it will looks like this

function xxx takes nothing returns boolean
return(________)
function yyy takes nothing return nothing

And then the game doesn't know what to do with the function because it doesn't "end"

It's like trying to loop without putting an 'endloop' ...it just doesn't work O.o
