Call command can't 'call' a function but a handler only.
But a handler can return a value in the result variable.
Then make your function (function) a handler (on) and use:

local tResult
-----
call <My_Handler> of <Object>
put the result into tResult
----------------------------------------------
on My_Handler
   <some stuff>
   return <value>
end My_Handler
