Gosub ?

[Cajon]

can some one explain how gosubs work?

I've searched through misson coding tutorials and searched the forums but i cant find anything on them.

 

Thanks,

:threadgosub @thread2end_thread:thread2return

 

 

It works like a JUMP, but the thread you jump to must end with a RETURN so it goes back up, because what it does is to go to another thread to execute it and then return to continue executing the rest of the code below the gosub.

Gosub is short for go subroutine which works like this; unlike jump it returns to the place it was called from. So when you see 'return' that tells it to go back where it came from. This saves you from having to type the same lines over and over again.
