how to return an array?

[mhovland]

If you want to return an int array, just declare your procedure like this:

proc int[] callup (int $varAA, int $varBB)
{
$varCC = {$varAA, $varBB};
return $varCC;
}

If that won't work for you, you will need to explain why in more depth.

proc int[] callup( int $varA, int $varB )
{
int $varC[] = { $varA, $varB} ;
return $varC;
};
$varA = 33;
$varB = 55;
$varC = callup ( $varA, $varB );
print( $varC );

Thanks guys...

I thought so too but it didn't work. I somehow have the feeling that the error message maya produces relates to some other error I have in my script.

But thanks anyway. I guess I have to go for anyother debug round here ;-)

Best regards, Ingo

oh, boy - I now see the problem. Some of my variables got screwed and carried a wrong varibale type along. That of course made the conversion of the type impossible. ;-)

I tried it with "fresh" variables and now it works :-D

(isn't there a way to reset variables. I just know that it's possible to clear arrays, but what is with non-array-variables?

Cheers, Ingo

If you are entering your script into the script editor, any variable you declare that isn't enclosed in curly braces { }, is global.

If you are doing quick testing, you should always enclose everything in curly braces, that way all variables fall out of scope after the execution of the code.

thank you - that should help a lot :-)

Cheers

P.S. I am getting along quite well now :-) hehe Everything's working so far
