Code: function Destroy(self) local particle = CreateMOSRotating("blah") particle.Pos = self.Pos particle.Vel = self.Vel MovableMan:AddParticle(particle) end Though this happens also upon settling and Lifetime running out.

Code: function Update(self) self.somevariable = whatever end function Destroy(self) local particle = CreateMOSRotating("self.somevariable blah") particle.Pos = self.Pos particle.Vel = self.Vel MovableMan:AddParticle(particle) end Or would it be (self.somevariable "blah")?

It would be: Code: self.somevariable .. "blah" The ".." operator is a concatenation operator, otherwise known as "put that onto the end of this".
