    I have a function I wrote in C# that takes in a value, and messes with it some, and proceeds to return it at the end. I needed to call that function from JS, but I do not see how to use SendMessage to get that return value as well. I can run the function fine it seems, but I need access to the return value. Aside from rewriting my JS in C#, or making some blank game objects that it changes the values on instead of returning, and polling for those values, any other ideas?

    Yeah, but from what I could tell none of them involve what I am asking.

    At the moment this is a bit hacky, until we add more interoperability between js and c#.

    2 ways
    1) Dont use a return value, but send the return value back with SendMessage.
    2) Use PlayerPrefs to write the return value into the prefs then read it back.
