05 |
06 | local S,E = pcall(function() |
07 | ReturnSomething() |
08 |
09 |
10 | end) |
11 |
12 | print(S,E) |

You need to return it in the actual pcall() callback, instead of in your function.
ie:
1 | local S, E = pcall(function() |
2 | return "Hi" |
3 | end |
4 | print(S, E) |
true, Hi
- or, if I were to edit your approach -
1 | local function returnSomething() |
2 | return "Hi" |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | local S, E = pcall(function() |
6 | return returnSomething() |
7 | end) |
8 |
9 | print(S, E) |
true, Hi
