Difference in returns - JavoDiaz - 09.01.2013

Which the difference between

pawn Код:

forward Test(playerid);
public Test(playerid)
{
    SendClientMessage(playerid, ~1, "test");
    return 1;
}

and

pawn Код:

forward Test(playerid);
public Test(playerid)
{
    SendClientMessage(playerid, ~1, "test");
}

?

The same case in plain functions:

pawn Код:

Test(playerid)
{
    SendClientMessage(playerid, ~1, "test");
    return 1;
}

and

pawn Код:

Test(playerid)
{
    SendClientMessage(playerid, ~1, "test");
}

Which is the difference?

I already know that if I need a value I can return it with return but in void functions, in pawn doesn't exist void so, in void functions that executes 1 time and don't need to return any value.

like

Case with callback:

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    SetTimerEx("Test", 1000, false, "d", playerid);
    return 1;
}

Case with plain function:

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    Test(playerid);
    return 1;
}

I need to return a value in the Test function in both cases?

Thanks and respond only people that have understanded my doubt and have experience with this cases to avoid confusions.

Thanks again.

pawn is typeless, therefore it doesn't support valueless type void (which you stated but keeps mentioning for some reason..)

return does as says, it returns a value. It's also very handy when passing control back to a block of code.

Yes but you don't said me the difference between return a value or not. Thanks for the fast answer.

Re: Difference in returns - JavoDiaz - 09.01.2013

Oh thanks ****** but the function will be slower if I put a return value at the end of it or it's the same thing?

the "void:" tag is in the YSI library?

Thanks.

Oh, thanks a lot, I use too much your YSI libraries, they are great, it help me a lot and you too. Thanks for solving another of my doubts ******. I appreciate it a lot.

all it is, is an extra instruction but this is the LEAST of the your worries. So I'll answer as any sane person would...no.
