Inline functions and const

[VirtualVirgin]

Since you can't make a const variable declaration in an inline function, is there some other way to make a variable that will be available to outside the inline function code block?

I am making some factory methods and would like to be able include array creation along side the creation of the components.

@VirtualVirgin In the inline function put your values into a local variable and return it. Then when you call the inline function you can capture the returned value in a const.

inline function doSomething()
{
    local myVar = 123;
    return myVar;
}

const data = doSomething();

I'll be posting a video about this tomorrow :)

@d-healey said in Inline functions and const:

inline function doSomething()
{
local myVar = 123;
return myVar;
}

const data = doSomething();

I can't figure how how to get any returns out of it if there are parameters going into it.

inline function createMatrixTable(name, rows, columns, unitSize)

@VirtualVirgin As the error message says, testReturn is not a function, you don't need to put () at the end.
