create custom function

Questions & Answers

Hey,

I have a question about function. So I know how to create a basic function and how to call it. Smth like this:

function Start()
{
myFunction();
}

function myFunction()
{
//do what ever I want
}

But I have seen a few times function where you can input a value like

function Start
{
myFunction(myValue,anotherValue);
}

So actually I wanted to ask how I have to set up my function so that I can input the value and how it will return the value to the previous function. I couldn’t find anything on in the Unity docs so I don’t really know where to look it up.

Hey there,

Basic awnser to your question (in C#, which I greatly recommend)

void Start()
{
    MyFunction(20,"Sergio");
}

void MyFunction(int aNumber, string aName)
{
    Debug.log("Hello : " +aName+" you are " +aNumber+" years old.");
}

So you must match pass the parameters with the proper type and the proper order to make it work.

Hope it helps !
