How do I read multiple values coming from a function?
WorldToScreenPoint returns a Vector3 and a boolean. However, I can't read the boolean in any way I tried. How do I read it?

For multiple return values you list the variable ie local vec, val = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(pos) User#5423 17 — 7y

To receive multiple return values, use multiple assignment:
1 | local function getFirstThreeNumbers() |
2 | return 1, 2, 3 |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | local first, second, third = getFirstThreeNumbers() |
Extra return results will be discarded:
1 | local function getFirstNumbers() |
2 | return 1, 2, 3, 4 |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | local first, second, third = getFirstNumbers() -- Fourth return value discarded. |
6 | local anotherFirst, anotherSecond, anotherThird, anotherFourth = getFirstNumbers() |
7 | local moreFirst = getFirstNumbers() |
Extra variables in multiple assignment will get nil:
1 | local function getFirstNumbers() |
2 | return 1, 2, 3, 4 |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | local first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth = getFirstNumbers() |
6 | print(fifth) --> nil |
7 | print(sixth) --> nil |
