 Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed 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.

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed Code: function Update(self)
if self.Vel.Magnitude <= 25 or self.Vel.Magnitude >= -25 then
self:GibThis()
end
end

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed 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?

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed Try putting a semicolon (;) after gibthis.

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed 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]

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed 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.

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed What is your object? It sounds like it cannot gib anyway. Set: Code: self.ToDelete = true; instead.

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed You can make it look like they gibbed by creating object in the destroy function.

Re: Gibbing self after slowing down into a set speed 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.
