Basic Return Help

I've got a trigger that wants to cast a spell on all nearby units. I've set the caster function up but the syntax checker says the actions function is expecting a return, except I don't see any actions that give a return.
JASS:
function Ghostwalk_Slam_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    local unit Caster = H2U(GetHandleHandle(Caster, "Caster"))// I added this line and it clears up that error but I'm not sure if its done right
    return ( IsUnitEnemy(GetEnumUnit(), GetOwningPlayer(Caster)) == true )
endfunction

function Ghostwalk_Slam_Actions takes nothing retruns nothing
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, 'h001', GetOwningPlayer(Caster), GetUnitLoc(GetEnumUnit()), bj_UNIT_FACING )
    call UnitApplyTimedLifeBJ( 2.00, 'BTLF', GetLastCreatedUnit() )
    call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'A00O', GetLastCreatedUnit() )
    call IssueTargetOrderBJ( GetLastCreatedUnit(), "banish", GetEnumUnit() )
endfunction


This is the line that calls this function.

JASS:
call ForGroupBJ( GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching(500.00, GetUnitLoc(Caster), Condition(function Ghostwalk_Slam_Conditions)), function Ghostwalk_Slam_Actions )


On a slightly related note "Caster" is a local variable declared earilier in the trigger. I'm using handle variables to move it around. Do I need to refer to it with handles in this part as well?

you have to, locals are call local because they ARE local

Its probably because 'returns' is spelt wrong.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
