Code: function Update(self) if self.parent:GetController():IsState(Controller.PRESS_UP) and self.parent:GetController():IsState(Controller.PRESS_DOWN) then local Ge = CreateMOSRotating("Blast"); Ge.pos = self.pos; Ge.vel = self.Vel; MovableMan:AddParticle(Ge); self.ToDelete = true; end end end you may need to use Controller.HOLD_UP and Controller.PRESS_DOWN (or vise versa), cause this requires to be pressed at the exact same time.

I have been using root as a variable in all my scripts and haven't had any problems with it? and yes, you only need to find the actor, to use the script it it still useful to find the gun to get gun position and rotangle if you are making lua bullets? else this will suffice Code: function Create(self) 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 < 50 then self.parent = actor; end end end function Update(self) if self.parent ~= nil then if self.parent:GetController():IsState(Controller.PIE_MENU_ACTIVE) then local Ge = CreateMOSRotating("Blast"); MovableMan:AddMO(Ge); Ge.pos = self.pos; Ge.vel = self.Vel self.ToDelete = true; end end end

Soo you want the gun to: A. shoot a bullet and if you "right click" with your actor the bullet explodes? B. or do you want the bullet to find an actor (not yourself) and blow up the actor? C. or blow yourself up?
