Hi guys I wonder how i can return 2 values and assign them to a 2 varuables on a new function.

How I can do this?

This is a pretty basic Lua question. Have you tried using the documentation? You just use multiple comma-separated values in your function's return statement:

return "one", 2, true

Belive it or not, I did use google and such for it , I never create a new topic just for the sake of it .

And yes I have done that, I have changed the code on the read of the redstone energy cell, so I only need to change the statement on the for, and the rest It will get it automatic:

local e_cell = "redstone_energy_cell_"

function read_energy_cell()
  cell_stored = 0
  for i=4,15 do
	cell = peripheral.wrap(e_cell..i)
	cell_stored = cell_stored + cell.getEnergyStored()
  end
  cell_total = cell.getMaxEnergyStored()
  return cell_stored, cell_total
end

Now I'm returning the mj on the energy cells and the total that it can store, now what I was asking is how I can access to it .

I have this function to it

function mj()
os.loadAPI("energia/read_mj")
-- want to put cell_stored into one variable and cell_total into another here
os.unloadAPI("energia/read_mj")
end

Thanks

The same general way.

local first, second = func()
