Code:
function Create(self)
    local curdist = 100;
    self.parent = nil;

    for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
   local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
   local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
   local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
   if dist < curdist then
       curdist = dist;
       self.parent = actor;
   end
    end
end

Does this mean:
"When the Create function is called, take the following actions:" ?

It means:

when the object is created (since I am fairly sure the DS runs a script on the round fired)

run the following script, which in this case determines the closest actor and calls it the parent.
