return this.each (function () {

this.map(function(){

        return $(this).text()

    }).get();

});
};
var radio1_val = $('input[name="form[radio1]"]:checked + label').checktoclient();

$('input#radioclient').val(radio1_val);

Take a look at the jQuery plugin Getting started itself:

• http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring

In the The Basics part, you have a plugin function maxHeight that does exactly what you want, except that it doesn’t return the text, but height. I suggest you read it – there are a few other things that you should be doing, summarized at the end, so it will be useful.

Btw, the reason it is not working is because .each() returns the jQuery itself, so your function is returning the jQuery object, not the text you were expecting – look at the Returns on the .each() API documentation:
