How do you or can you do that?

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.

Can you do this?
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".

So the preset would be "blah whatever" if (self.somevariable .. "blah") in that case, right?

It's like addition. Whatever is to the left of the concat operator is what the part on the right is added to,
"Bleh" .. "Blah" = "BlehBlah"
