Okay. I have an MOPixel that's sposed to find thenearest actor and follow it, but whenever i try it, CC tells me the value is nil. Like "self.Pos = self.parent.Pos" says parent is nil, but i have it in create.

Thanks

Code:
function Create(self)
   local curdist = 15;
    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
   self.parent.Team = self.Team   
   end
    end
end

Problem 1:
Code:

   self.parent.Team = self.Team


Problem 2 is that curdist might be to low.

Change curdist to at least 50. Change the line quoted by mail to
Code:
self.Team = self.parent.Team
That should fix it.

What about self.Pos = self.parent.Pos? I need it in update as well.

How about just making the MOPixel home in on the parent actor.
Like a missile.
Or, is that what you are doing?

How about you just use my example?

One of the drawbacks though is that there can only be one. Though, that's easily fixable.
