 Lua Question I am not very well in the lua codes, and I was wondering if it was actually possible to make things happen when a particle damages an actor.
Example: Lets say when bullet hits actor it causes the actor to gib.
I need to know if its possible or not. If it is, can you please give me a copy of the code for it?

Re: Lua Question Check if the health changes?
Better yet, have the wounds spawn particles that communitcate with the nearest actor with the right PresetName.

Re: Lua Question Hes using an example to find out how to do something, and he means when the... sigh.
Actor A shoots actor B
Actor B has code to make it so that when he is shot he explodes.
Boom.
not

Re: Lua Question That's what my code would do?
On the destroy function of a PARTICLE find the nearest actor and if it's within a certain distance gib it.

Re: Lua Question You could also use CastMORay to find out if the particle has collided with something and then gib that something.

Re: Lua Question Code: function Update(self)
self.atarget = (SceneMan:CastMORay(Vector(self.Pos.X - self.Vel.X,self.Pos.Y - self.Vel.Y),Vector(self.Vel.X,self.Vel.Y),0,0,true,5))
--check if self is colliding with any MO. If yes, returns MOID of that MO.
self.target = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(MovableMan:GetRootMOID(self.atarget))
--get the root MO from the MOID
if self.target ~= nil then --if collision happened
--do stuff to the MO
self.target:GibThis()
end
end
