Post Colliding
Is there any way to use colliding in an if statement, like "if the particle collides with something" rather than using a distance to simluate it?

Or use box-based hitboxes, but they're for obvious reasons less precise.

Kyred was doing something with boundingboxes, those would work better if you could do a within boundingbox check.

Code:
i = SceneMan:CastMORay(self.Pos,self.Vel,0,0,false,5)
self.thingie = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i)
if self.thingie ~= nil then
  --stuff
end
Is what you're after. The collided object can be accessed with self.thingie if something was collided.

Get the root MO, btw.
So it'e more like:
Code:
i = SceneMan:CastMORay(self.Pos,self.Vel,0,0,false,5)
if i ~= 255 then
self.thingie = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i).RootID)
  --stuff
end

Can you do "if it collides with an actor"?

Code:
if self.thinge:IsActor() then
..
end

Done. Works even if it doesn't hit the torso.
