how to create a function and be able to call it for returning a value.

Hi, i would like to create a function using flexscript, where when i call the function, it has to return the some value according to the calculation i put inside the function.

Example

here i am just trying to create a addition function where if i send two values, it has to save that number at specified table and return me the added value "C" for the variable "dd".

Hi @Ankith T! You can add a function by going to Toolbox -> Modeling Logic -> User Commands. This will allow you to make a little function for your model. You can add the code at the bottom. Here's a link to the documentation for the tool: https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.1/Reference/Tools/UserCommands/UserCommands.html#app

Let me know if you have any follow up questions!

Thank you, that cleared my doubt. But what if i would like to return multiple variables. such as string and double. where string tells me its an addition and double tells me the value of addition.
