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 — 6y

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