Ok, so, I have a gun that shoots a shell with 'poison'.
The shell travels and hits a target (Must be a live human to work), then it gibs and then the lua part must kick in. Sadly, this ♥♥♥♥ ain't workin'.

I've put the code together with some copypasta and editing from other mods (Cause I fail at lua, obviously >_<)

Code:
function Create(self)
   self.hurtTimer = Timer();
   self.hurtInterval = 10;
end

function Update(self)
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      if actor.PresetName == "Browncoat Light" or actor.PresetName == "Browncoat Heavy" or actor.PresetName == "Soldier Light" or actor.PresetName == "Soldier Heavy" or actor.PresetName == "Dafred" or actor.PresetName == "Mia" or actor.PresetName == "Dimitri" or actor.PresetName == "Brutus" or actor.PresetName == "Sandra" or actor.PresetName == "Gordon" then
         if self.hurtTimer:IsPastSimMS(self.hurtInterval) then
            actor.Health = actor.Health - 3;
            self.hurtTimer:Reset();
         end
      end
   end
end


What is wrong?

I'll help you when you spell right. Intentional grammatical and spelling errors are not witty or humorous.

Intentional refusal to help over such a tiny thing as intentional misspells is not witty or humorous. Don't flame him for a choice he made intentionally for effect.

Don't be an ass, if you aren't willing to help, don't even post.

Wait, let me fix that.

If you need help don't be an ass about accepting it?

If you're not offereing help, don't try proving somebody else is an ass and don't post?

Seriously people.

What's wrong is that you haven't designated any actor to do it to.

Either on update or destroy copy the target finding code from the coalition missile launcher, then do whatever you need to to it. Also, to designate a holy ♥♥♥♥ of things at once, try using a list rather than individually listing all of them. It's faster and neater.

Ok... Simple enough...

How do I define it in the 'if' part?

'if actor.PresetName' and then?

Code:
actorlist = {list of strings}
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
   if string.find (table.concat(actorlist),actor.PresetName) then
      --stuff
   end
end

I really can't tell if you're copypasting the code you post from somewhere else or what, because there's always a mistake like this~

looking at my post, and then back to yours, it looks like you're seeing color tags for some reason.. i cant see them in my post though, so im thinking its something your end. i am copypasting from notepad++, so i can indent easily. no idea why that would lead to color tags in your quote of my post without them though.
