Wow. I looked at the comparison...
The Coding used right now looks understandable and MUCH cleaner than the LUA code. It's simple to understand the code,but LUA code looks difficult and I would not like to deal with it.
InstanceName is simple, it's the name
Mass is a given, the mass of the object.
RestThreshold, the life or the amount of time before it 'dies'
Wtf, I don't know any of it. It's too spread around the place. The variables are also scattered around, and it looks messy.
The code right now is fine. No need to change it. Period.
I like how he said it.

Code:
InstanceName = Particle Supreme Digger
Mass = 0.2
RestThreshold = 500
Mass = 0.2
RestThreshold = 500

Code:
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/healthfix.lua")
function UpdateHealth()
local Ents = ents.GetAll()
for k,v in pairs(Ents) do
if(v:GetHealth() != v:Health()) then
v:SetNWFloat("hp", v:Health())
end
if(v:GetNWMaxHealth() != v:GetMaxHealth()) then
v:SetNWFloat("maxhp", v:GetMaxHealth())
end

Yeah, that example was pretty bad, but, imagine being able to do something like..
Code:
local Door = NewEntity() --Create a new entity in the world
SetSprite(Door, "doorclosed.bmp") --Set the sprite of "Door" to doorclosed.bmp
SetPosition(Door, 100, 100) --Set the X/Y of "Door" to 100/100
SetRotation(Door, 180) --Set the rotation of "Door" to 180 degrees
function Door.OnTouchedByClone(Clone) --When the "Door" is touched by a clone this is run and "Clone" is the clone that touched it
if(Clone.Team == "red") then --If the clone is on the red team then..
SetSprite(Door, "dooropen.bmp") --Set the sprite to dooropen.bmp
timer.Set("CloseTheDoorAfter5Seconds", SetSprite(Door, "doorclosed.bmp")) --After 5 seconds set the sprite to doorclosed.bmp
end
end
SetSprite(Door, "doorclosed.bmp") --Set the sprite of "Door" to doorclosed.bmp
SetPosition(Door, 100, 100) --Set the X/Y of "Door" to 100/100
SetRotation(Door, 180) --Set the rotation of "Door" to 180 degrees
function Door.OnTouchedByClone(Clone) --When the "Door" is touched by a clone this is run and "Clone" is the clone that touched it
if(Clone.Team == "red") then --If the clone is on the red team then..
SetSprite(Door, "dooropen.bmp") --Set the sprite to dooropen.bmp
timer.Set("CloseTheDoorAfter5Seconds", SetSprite(Door, "doorclosed.bmp")) --After 5 seconds set the sprite to doorclosed.bmp
end
end
Here, have a read
http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectoryLua is pretty much the simplest scripting language besides HTML, just about anybody can pick it up in a few hours.
