Question by EvilSquid · Sep 13, 2013 at 05:54 PM · c#methodstopreturn

Stop calling a function

Hey,

In my script I have a function which calls another function when the requirements are met, here:

void FixedUpdate () {

     if(rigidbody.velocity.magnitude > TakeOffSpeed)
         TakeOff();
     
     if(rigidbody.velocity.magnitude > TakeOffSpeed + 10)
         Balance ();    
 }

What I want to happen is TakeOff() to be stopped when Balance() is called, however TakeOff() is a 'void' function. I have been trying to use return but I get an error, as return cannot be used on a void function!

This is TakeOff():

 void TakeOff()
     {
             rigidbody.AddForce (0,50,0,ForceMode.Acceleration);
         rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque (5,0,0,ForceMode.Force);
         
     }

As you can see, I can't use int or float, as it is a force not a value.

I'm not sure if I explained this very clearly, but help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks

Yes you can return from a void. You can't return a value, but you can just do return (which means exit out)

 void myFunc()
 { 
    if (condition)
       return; 
 }

assuming this is a non static class. the simplest solution is to create a bool, and have that bool control the functionality of one, or both methods.

so it would look like this

 //...
 bool controlBool = false;
 //...
 
 void TakeOff(){
     if(controlBool == false){
         // other code
     }
 }
 void Balance(){
     controlBool = true;
     // other code
 }
 //...

I had thought about putting a bool in my answer as well. Not sure which he is looking for if either.
