Edit:

New Land mine script, not working. Help please.

Code:
function Create(self)
end
local curdist = 40;
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
self:GibThis();
end
end

Anything in the create function will only be executed the same update as the object is created.

Put the distance check inside function Update(self)

So it will look like:

Code:
function Update(self)
end
local curdist = 40;
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
self:GibThis();
end
end


Right?

No. Because that code would immediately end the function loop. function create self, then for, if, then three ends at the end of the script.

I'm not getting any errors, but this isn't working either.

Code:
function Create(self)
local curdist = 50;
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
self:GibThis();
end
end
end

Another script not working. I think I need a "for" statement, but I'm not sure how I'm suppose to put it in.

Edit: got the "for" statement, but getting errors abou a nil box value.

Edit2: Found an easier way to do box and it works. Problem solved.

Small, easy box script:
Code:
function Update(self)

--Using Lua to do box detection

for actor in MovableMan.Actors do   --If an actor gets within the defined area
if (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 20) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 20) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 20) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 20) then
self:GibThis();   --Gib the Mine
end
end
end

Longform box detection is marginally slower than engine boxes.
This script will check every half-second for an actor (rather than every sim update) and uses engine functions for that tiny bit of not-lagginess.

function Create(self)
self.checktimer = Timer();
self.checkbox = Box(Vector(self.Pos.X - 20,self.Pos.Y - 20),Vector(self.Pos.X + 20,self.Pos.Y + 20));
end

function Update(self)
if self.checktimer:IsPastSimMS(500) == true then
self.checktimer:Reset();
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if self.checkbox:WithinBox(actor.Pos) == true then
self:GibThis();
end
end
end
end
