IN the below code I am expecting to see values '100' for .X and '110' for .Y printed to screen. But I am getting '100' and '0'. Am I trying to do something that is illegal or is it a bug?

First, what version of AppGameKit are you using?

I haven't seen returning a UDT from a function working so far. It is one of the things that needs fixing.

I think it sort of works if you use a global variable instead of a local variable.

In theory you should be able to declare the return type of a function, making using a UDT work. But I also have not seen that work yet, either.

returnValues is not defined as node
returnValues=function1()

this works:

Good catch, Markus! I missed that one.

It is good to hear that functions now successfully return UDTs.

UDTs and functions was fixed in beta 18 IIRC.

I am doing that in my original code but with a different varible name. I merely forgot to add that when posting the example code.

So there must be something else. Thanks for looking.

I am declaring the type in Main.agc then calling a function in a separate file which calls the function that assigns the values. (Like function1 in the example code)

Perhaps it does not work with nested functions? No. The example code works when I set it up the same way as my original code.

I guess I'll just start remarking out lines until I find the culprit.

I was able to get a repeat performance using the code provided above. It was working at first, then I started adding code to re-create my original, but using the provided code above (since it was working). Then the .Y being zero happened again. So, I deleted the code that I added, but the .Y being zero still remains. This sounds like a bug to me.

I will try to re-create my exact steps, but all I did was add code, and when the code was removed the problem remained.

BTW: using the latest version 1.08 19

Problem:

I was using P2 instead of P1 when assigning the values. So, P1.Y was zero instead of 110 because I was assigning P2.Y=110

DOH!

We all have those moments (and there really needs a 'palm-to-forehead' emoticon).

But you have it working now. And that is what counts.

Happy Programming!

And no matter how many times I looked at it, I kept seeing P1 when it was actually P2. Therefore, I cannot trust my perception of reality.
