Question by $$anonymous$$ · Jul 11, 2013 at 04:37 PM · returnextensions

Make Extensions return a value

Yeah, so i'm trying to make an Extension for myself. But i can't figure out a way to actually make my extension return a value. here is what i have so far:

 public static class Extension_Damage 
 {
     public static void doDamage( this Transform target, float damage )
     {
          //return damage * 2;
     }
 }

i tried IENumerator, removing the static and some more. Please help me

Hi

you have to specify the return type of the function. Its currently void - change it

 public static class Extension_Damage
 {
    public static float doDamage( this Transform target, float damage )
    {
       return damage * 2.0f;
    }
 }

syntax is like:

 <visibility> <return type> <name>(<parameters>)
 {
 <function code>
 }

However you should think about your function :) it makes no use of the first parameter. But I think you are going to extend this ;)

hope it helps

Absolutely correct. Extensions can be really useful, but this one makes no sense at all ;) Even if it uses the Transform in some way, you should think about if it actually makes sense to all Transforms. Or atleast you need it very often.
