function returning "any"

[wok 1]

I am doing a stances indicator, my .sqf file look kinda like this:

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

waitUntil {!isNull player && player == player};

_position = call getStance;
hint format ['%1 - %2 - %3',_position select 0, _position select 1, _position select 2];

getStance =
{
_animation = animationState player;
_stance = stance player;
_vPosition = "MIDDLE";
_hPosition = "MIDDLE";

if ( [_animation, "down"] call findStr ) then
{
	_vPosition = "DOWN";
};

if ( [_animation, "up"] call findStr ) then
{
	_vPosition = "UP";
};

if ( [_animation, "left"] call findStr ) then
{
	_hPosition = "LEFT";
};

if ( [_animation, "right"] call findStr ) then
{
	_hPosition = "RIGHT";
};

[_stance, _vPosition, _hPosition]
};

findStr =
{
_str1 = toArray(_this select 0);
_str2 = toArray(_this select 1);
_substr = [];
_result = false;

for "_i" from 0 to ((count _str2) - 1) do 
{
	_substr set [_i, _str1 select (count _str1 - count _str2 + _i)];
};

if([_substr, _str2] call BIS_fnc_areEqual) then 
{
	_result = true;
};

_result
};

In the init.sqf file I have:

_null = [] execvm "myFile.sqf";

The hint shows "any - any - any", if I call the function inside an event handler like AnimDone, then the hint shows the correct values.

Does anyone knows why the function returns "any" and how could I fix it?

I suspect I need to add something else to the top waitUntil, but im not sure what.

Hello! I was looking at it and was able to get the first value to say the correct value ( http://2.ii.gl/GhH2E.png ) but the last two say MIDDLE, not sure if that is correct! but this is what i did, just moved _position and the hint to the bottom of the script

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

waitUntil {!isNull player && player == player};




getStance =
{
   _animation = animationState player;
   _stance = stance player;
   _vPosition = "MIDDLE";
   _hPosition = "MIDDLE";


   if ( [_animation, "down"] call findStr ) then
   {
       _vPosition = "DOWN";
   };

   if ( [_animation, "up"] call findStr ) then
   {
       _vPosition = "UP";
   };

   if ( [_animation, "left"] call findStr ) then
   {
       _hPosition = "LEFT";
   };

   if ( [_animation, "right"] call findStr ) then
   {
       _hPosition = "RIGHT";
   };

   [_stance, _vPosition, _hPosition]
};


findStr =
{
   _str1 = toArray(_this select 0);
   _str2 = toArray(_this select 1);
   _substr = [];
   _result = false;

   for "_i" from 0 to ((count _str2) - 1) do 
   {
       _substr set [_i, _str1 select (count _str1 - count _str2 + _i)];
   };

   if([_substr, _str2] call BIS_fnc_areEqual) then 
   {
       _result = true;
   };

   _result;
};    


_position = call getStance;
hint format ['%1 - %2 - %3',_position select 0, _position select 1, _position select 2];

Hope this helps! :)

what toxic did, you need to define function first then call it not call it then define it.

Thank you toxic and killzone, I come from other programming languages, but I should have though about this :P. Thank you very much..
