Function return error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to learn how to make functions using return.
Iv made a script but i’m unsure if it will work. I dont own a computer but asked my friend and ran it through online simulations and it all said it was wrong.

Can you correct it please?

Local part = instance.new(part)
Part.Brickcolor = color
Part.name = Test
Part.Parent = game.workspace
Return part
End
Local edit = Test(Part, “Really Red”)
Wait(5)
Edit.name = TestNewName
End ```

i will test it for you and see whats wrong.

Also its function(Part, Color) not function(Part) its a glitch or something in forums ig.

Lets start with what return even does. If you already know the whole functionality of return then skip thru this part.

Basically what return does is:

return basically gives you whatever you return. so for an example, you do a function that goes something along these lines:

local function returnSomething(arg1, arg2)
    local thingToReturn = arg1 + arg2
    return thingToReturn -- this literally says the function becomes this variable here
end

You seem to want to make a function that creates a new part and returns it. So what you’d do is

local function newPart()
    local newPart = Instance.new("Part")
    newPart.Name = "Test"
    newPart.Parent = game.Workspace
    return newPart -- now this function literally becomes the new part
end

local part = newPart() -- making the new part
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really Red")
wait(5)
part.Name = "New Part Name"

This is what your code would look like if you wanted to make a part with a function and interact with it later. That help?
