Reduced particles mod

This mod puts "returnvoid" to disable the "update" method in many classes (HitEffect, etc..)

What i dont dont understand is ....how the hell it works, because according to the code , update should return a "BOOLEAN"

Code:

  refid "_-1Oa:ExplosionEffect/instance/update"
    param QName(PackageNamespace("", "#0"), "int")
    param QName(PackageNamespace("", "#0"), "int")
    returns QName(PackageNamespace("", "#0"), "Boolean")

"returnvoid" and.. boolean?
I was expecting "push(true|false) and returnvalue"..

FYI , Auto hacks updater work great, i added all hacks except :

20.0.0_equipSwap
20.0.0_eventNotifier
20.0.0_friendlist
20.0.0_fsv2 > THIS one will probably makes me lose my sanity
20.0.0_passesCover
20.0.0_redupart >working on it, its the reason of my question
20.0.0_teleportFix
20.0.0_tradeDelay

The answer is easy, the update function for most of the objects drawn in the gamesprite have a return, (you can see it in the no SS mod, where we force the update function of projectile to return false after denying the hit). What the boolean that is return tell is wheter that specific object is going to be on the screen, drawn and whatever else comes with his behaviour, in the next gametick.

By putting the returnvoid you're simply forgetting all of this, nothing will ever be drawn, or checked for existance

i didnt asked for "why the mods puts a returnvoid" .
I know how this mod is supposed to work because this is similar on what you do in ASM to disable a CALL : put a RET as first opcode.

i asked for "why the mods puts a returnvoid instead of a returnvalue"

I mean : this method returns true or false. If the mod puts a returnvoid it may result in..errors ...

Well, it puts returnvoid because I typed returnvoid when I first released it... I haven't encountered errors with it, have you? Also, I think a better way of disabling particles is making them not even be called anymore, instead of actually computing them but not drawing them (I think that's what the current one does).
