If I do the following,

SuperStrict
Local Timer=CreateTimer:TTimer(60)

I get a missing type specifier message but if I run the same code in non SuperStrict mode it compiles fine. Am I missing something? Isn`t TTimer the type specifier that BMax is asking for?

How's about?

Local Timer:TTimer = CreateTimer(60)

So obvious! Thanks Brucey.

I think that I made this silly mistake because I was reading the docs which say,

Function CreateTimer:TTimer( hertz#,event:TEvent=Null )

If a function needs to return something when called, its placed after a ":". Eg if you had a function where you needed to return a float you would write something like: Function calculateThis:Float(value1:float,value2:float)
