Question

i have this code

var ispaused : boolean = false;
function Update () {
    if(Input.GetKeyDown("p")){
        Switch(ispaused);
    }

}

function Switch (bool){
    if(bool == false){
        bool = true;
    }
    else{
        bool = false;
    }
    return bool;
}

the code is supposed to switch the var ispaused, but it does not. Any help on the matter would be very nice.

I'm not that familiar with Javascript, is it passing the Boolean by reference, or value? If it's by value, then you need to say:

ispaused = Switch(ispaused);

You can actually remove the function entirely, and use this instead:

if(Input.GetKeyDown("p")){
    isPaused = !isPaused;
}

Sigh... why do I even bother answering questions? :)

@Cyclops: well, you actually answered the question. ;) I didn't really answer the question, I proposed something entirely different (albeit more efficient)...the correct answer is useful even if the particular function in question isn't in this case.

@Eric5h5: so - I gave an Answer that was technically correct, yet still managed to be inferior to an Answer that didn't even address the Question. Thanks, I feel better now... :)

@Cyclops: Nah...if 3dDude runs into a similar problem with a completely different function, he'll know what to do because of your answer, so it's not inferior. ;)
