Lesson 6: Practice Time!

Now that you know the structure of a function, its time to build your own two of your own, in fact!

In the last exercise, you learned the lines of code needed to damage a player character in Fortnite. It would be better if you didn’t have to type those same lines every time you needed that code.

1. Declare a function named HurtPlayer(). It will have a return type of void, which means it won’t return a value. Put the function declaration at the very end of your Verse file. The body of the function is the same code from Lesson 5: Practice Time, so check there if you need a refresher.

   
   
   |  | HurtPlayer() : void = |
   | --- | --- |
   |  | Playspace: fort_playspace = GetPlayspace() |
   |  | AllPlayers: []player = Playspace.GetPlayers() |
   |  | if (FirstPlayer : player = AllPlayers[0]): |
   |  | if (FortniteCharacter : fort_character = FirstPlayer.GetFortCharacter[]): |
   |  | FortniteCharacter.Damage(50.0) |
