I want to gib an object if it's speed gets reduced a lot, how could I do it?

Until now my code looks like this:

Code:
function Update(self)

 if self.Vel < (5,5) or self.Vel < (-5,-5) or self.Vel < (5,-5) or self.Vel < (-5,5) then
      self:GibThis();
 end
end


But it's not working.

Code:
function Update(self)
    if self.Vel.Magnitude <= 25 or self.Vel.Magnitude >= -25 then
        self:GibThis()
    end
end

Thanks, that worked perfectly.

Edit: Wait a second, not so perfectly.
The lua console give me this error:
Attempt to call method "GibThis" (a nil value)

What's wrong then?

Try putting a semicolon (;) after gibthis.

Still, same error.

Is the thing actually being destroyed? If so then it could be that it's calling an update or two before actually disappearing.

If not then try:
Code:
function Update(self)
    if self.Vel.Magnitude <= 25 and self.ToDelete ~= true then
        self:GibThis()
    end
end]


EDIT: DERP ME, try this instead. Thank you CaveCricket48.

I keep getting the same error.

I placed a function on it when it is destroyed, so I can recognize that the particle is actually gibbing, but after it's lifetime rather than after reducing its speed.

What is your object? It sounds like it cannot gib anyway. Set:
Code:
self.ToDelete = true;
instead.

You can make it look like they gibbed by creating object in the destroy function.

Yep, that was what I did.

You see, I've seen some explosive round codes, and they all looked fairly the same to me.

So I decided to create my own because of 2 reasons:
1) Learning, progresing, tried to make something "different" in my own way.
2) I didn't want to ask anyone for his code.
