AddCustomOrder questions

[rf900]

I have read the info on the wiki, http://www.slitherinebravo.net/GameWiki ... ing_ui_hot.

Was wondering, if I return a value in the inner function will I be able to view it in the AddCustomOrder call.

Something like:

id = AddCustomOrder("Functionthatreturns something");

Also if using a UI panel one player is changing a Universal variable would that work or do I need to use the AddCustomOrder to call a function that will change the universal variable.

You should do everything that needs "doing" inside the function called by AddCustomOrder. That is the safest way to do it (it prevents, for example, things happening with different timings or in different orders).

You cannot get back any meaningful result, because the AddCustomOrder call doesn't actually call the function at that point, it adds it to the order queue for execution at some (consistent) later point.
