MarshalDirectiveException: Cannot marshal 'return value': Invalid managed/unmanaged type combination

Basically trying to wrap a dll (wiiuse library) into my godot game with c# and whenever i call my wrapped function i get this error:

E 0:00:00:0903   System.IntPtr[] WiiUse.WiiuseInit(int): System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalDirectiveException: Cannot marshal 'return value': Invalid managed/unmanaged type combination.

My Code:

    [DllImport("wiiuse.dll", EntryPoint = "wiiuse_init", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    public static extern IntPtr[] WiiuseInit(int numWiimotes);

    [DllImport("wiiuse.dll", EntryPoint = "wiiuse_init", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    public static extern IntPtr[] WiiuseInit(int numWiimotes);
