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?

Check if the health changes?

Better yet, have the wounds spawn particles that communitcate with the nearest actor with the right PresetName.

On destroy have the nearest actor gib if it's on an enemy team?

Really there's tons of ways to do it.

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

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.

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

Grif, could you post some code please. So you could gib it, or do whatever you wanted with it right?

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
