Solved 3 Quick Questions

[A248]

1. Can a function (SkQuery) return a list variable?

function getList(path: text, file: text) :: list:
    set {_list::*} to yml list "%{_path}%" of file "%{_file}%"
    return {_list::*}

2. Does deleting a yml path delete all subpaths as well?

on load:
    set yml value "Value.First" of file "{@file}" to {first}
    set yml value "Value.Second" of file "{@file}" to {second}
    delete yml value "Value" of file "{@file}" #Does this delete both values specified above?

3. UUID of player returns a text, correct?

on join:
    if "%UUID of player%" = UUID of player:
        set join message to "This message will always be broadcasted. &a%name of player% &7joined the game."
    else:
        set join message to "this message will never been seen. &a%name of player% &7joined the game."

1. Just put the plural form of the returned type. If you're returning string objects you'd use:

function getList(path: text, file: text) :: texts:

    return yml list {_path} of file {_file}

#By the way, this function is utterly useless and pointless. Never do functions for something that's just one line.

2. Yes, it does, you should try it instead of ask.

3. Yes, again, you should try it instead of ask.

Thanks!

I need to return a list for something else, not yml.

So, 'texts' should replace 'list' for the returned type?

Yes.
