When do I use the Return in a function? And what do I have to put in it?

As to not start another 100-post topic, you can read this thread:

Although it is quite long so you may want to reserve some time for it. 😆
The gist: In math you can have functions like `f(x) = x * 2`. `x` would be a parameter and if we put in `2` for x we would get `4`. That’s what the `return` block does, except you can return _anything_ from a function, including sprites and strings and arrays and whatever! In the functions list there will be a circle version of any function with a `return ` block in it.

Also! How do I make sevenseg counter relative to camera?

☹ Tried using the set flag function on it, didn’t work. I would ask the creator of that extension but I don’t know who made that extension either 😅
