Do commands after function returns get executed after the function returns its return info? ex. Function Blah() x$ = "xBlah" return x$ x$ = "" end function Would this function return "xBlah" before clearing the variable?

Why not run it and find out? But I think, if I remember rightly, that Return will terminate the function then and there, so x$ should still equal xBlah at the end.

Yes, Return short circuits any function (as opposed to setting the return value for End Funtion to return... which is the only other situation I can think of which might conceivably make sense for Return to do...)

That's what it does alright, thanks guys :)

Remember that you also need to declare the type of information your function will return. For example: x$ = GetData$() and p1.playertype = NewPlayer.playertype().

Ok, thanks.
