Return Variables out of loop and if statements

[samurai_worf]

Im trying to return a Variable which is an Entity out of a for loop in an if statement.

Example:

if 1 == 1 then
 for i = 1,1 do
  local Mob = ents.Create("npc_zombie")
 end
end

print(Mob)

I want to return Mob(The Entity)

if 1 == 1 then
 for i = 1,1 do
  local Mob = ents.Create("npc_zombie")
   return Mob
 end
 return Mob
end

print(Mob)

This is not working.

That's not how returns work. You get return values from a function, which that is not wrapped in.

Ok, is there a way to use the Variable out of the loop and the statement?

function test()
	local res
	for i = 0, 100 do
		if i == 50 then 
			res = i 
		end 
	end 
	return res 
end 

print(test())

Do it like that

[QUOTE=samurai_worf;50256583]Ok, is there a way to use the Variable out of the loop and the statement?[/QUOTE]Your creating the variable localy inside the loop, that means it wont exist outside that loop. Instead just create it outside the loop:

local Mob
if 1 == 1 then
 for i = 1,1 do
  Mob = ents.Create("npc_zombie")
 end
end

print(Mob)
