Skript Function Help return not working?

[Tristag]

function nameCheck(p: player) :: number:

    send a request to "https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/%{_p}%"
   
    return 1
   
    if the body of last http response parsed as text contains "id":
        stop

command /namecheck2:
    trigger:
        if nameCheck(player) is 1:
            broadcast "true"

So this one doesn't work... the return seems to turn into nothing.

function nameCheck(p: player) :: number:

    return 1
   
    send a request to "https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/%{_p}%"
   
    if the body of last http response parsed as text contains "id":
        stop

command /namecheck2:
    trigger:
        if nameCheck(player) is 1:
            broadcast "true"

However, putting the "return 1" just one line above the send request, it works perfectly...

Can anyone explain ?

"send request" delays the function a little bit, so the code in the function does not finish instantly. Therefore, it returns 1 a little bit later. But at this point the command "namecheck2" has already run "if nameCheck(player) is 1:", and found that it is not true because it did not get the result from the function.

You should never have a delay in a function that is supposed to return a value. And remember that the function stops once it executes a "return".

So I would need to insert a wait in the command? Or is the above impossible?

Eventually the return will be beoolean if it matters, this was the simplest example I could think of at the time. I'm planning on using a function to make sure a player is real
