Hey guys, is there a way to waiting for the returned value of a function? For example:
function test()
{
//some code here
...
return 1;
}
function start()
{
while(test() == 0) //how can i wait for the end of the "test" function?
{
wait(1);
}
}
Can someone help? Regards, DF

Hey! I see two ways to do this: First one - use proc_status. Second one - use global variable, which will change to ONE at the beggining of that 'test' function, and will be reset back to ZERO when you rich the end of the function (after f.e. a loop). So you'll be able to check, if that variable is equal to ONE, then wait for that function.. Just a dirty but well working idea. Best regards!

Many thanks 3run. proc_status was the key. With this I found another solution (in the manual) and it works for me:
function foo()
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<100; i++) { wait(1); }
}
...
foo();
wait_for(foo); // wait until foo is terminated
Best regards! Edit: Oh I wrote and dont saw the other answers, sorry xD Thanks for all answers!

unless you have a wait() somewhere in that test function, it already waits for the return value.

Mh I tried that but it doesnt work with a wait() in the "test"-function... That's exactly what Quad was saying.  He just gave you a heads up probably because your code example applies to that, not your real question:
function test()
{
//some code here
...
[SO NO WAIT HERE OR WHAT? OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T RETURN STUFF ANYWAY]
return 1;
}
function start()
{
while(test() == 0) //how can i wait for the end of the "test" function?
{
wait(1);
}
}
