Functions

Functions have names and possibly parameters. Parameters are variables that are given the function if it usually couldn't access them within their body.

When functions are called, their bodies get executed. They can return a result or not. If a result should be returned, the keyword

Code:

return

is used. By prepending the keyword

Code:

thread

the called function is executed concurrently to the function that called it.

Examples

Code:

disableThirdPersonMode()
{
setDvar("cg_thirdPerson", 0);
}

This sets the third person mode dvar to value 0.

Code:

setFieldOfView(angle)
{
setDvar("cg_fov", angle);
}

This sets the field of view dvar to the new angle value given to the method as parameter.

Code:

getFavNumber()
{
return 1337;
}
