Post Can't Find Pointers, etc.
I have a piece of code, and it... Completely fills the console with errors. The first error it makes is for the ToActor function. It says something about a "simple conversion" thing... Next is that it makes my timer, HTT, nil. Then it can't use the GetController function, so it says that I'm trying to index a nil variable. Which I am. Code:

Code:
function Create(self)
    self.owner = ToActor(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID))
    self.ParCon = self.owner:GetController()
    self.spell = {}
    self.spell[0] = "Bunnyerified"
    self.spell[1] = "Bunny Cannon"
    self.Gauge = CreateMOSRotating("Mana Gauge","Mahou.rte")
    self.totspl = 1
    self.numref = 0
    self.HTT = Timer()
    self.Gauge.PosX = self.target.PosX
    self.Gauge.PosY = self.target.PosY - 100
    MovableMan:AddParticle(self.Gauge)
end

function Update(self)
    if self.ParCon:IsState(10) then
        if self.HTT:IsPastSimMS(100) then
            self.HTT:Reset()
        end
    end
    if self.ParCon:IsState(10) then
        if not self.HTT:IsPastSimMS(100) then
            if self.numref < totspl then
                self.numref = self.numref + 1
                self.SetNextMagazineName(spell[numref])
                self.con:SetState(15)
            else
                self.numref = 0
                self.SetNextMagazineName(spell[numref])
                self.con:SetState(15)
            end
        end
    end
end

The problem is that you're assuming the gun is held when Create is called. If it isn't, self.RootID will be the weapon's ID, and you can't convert a gun into an actor. All the other errors will probably be solved if you implement a check and move the code that finds to the owner to the Update function.
