Return — logic.graphReturn

Function Graph only — see Function Graphs & Blueprint Mode for the full picture.

  • Inputs: in (exec) — "In"; value (value) — "Value"
  • Outputs: none — Return ends the chain it's wired into.

Unlike Start, any number of Return instances are allowed per graph, and each one is an ordinary node addable from the picker just like Branch/Switch — there's no singleton panel managing it. Each instance has its own execution-in pin:

  • If a Return's exec-in is wired (e.g. from inside a Branch/Switch arm), it emits its return <expr>; in place, right where it's wired — a real early return.
  • A Return with no exec-in wire falls back to the pre-existing trunk-trailing behavior: its return <expr>; is appended once after the whole compiled function body. This is the only shape Return could take before it gained an exec-in pin, so every pre-existing .blueprint file with a single unwired Return keeps compiling identically.

If "Value" is unwired, the returned Return falls off with no return value emitted for that arm; the Value pin also supports typing a literal directly on the pin, the same as any other value input.

// Two Return instances, each wired from inside its own Branch arm — real early returns
if (score >= 90) {
  return "A";
} else {
  if (score >= 80) {
    return "B";
  } else {
    return "C";
  }
}

See Function Graphs & Blueprint Mode for a worked early-return example.
