Then how come my dozens of shitty scripts run fine without it?

Well technically, that's bad syntax, not the other way around.

Well technically, I think your book of technicalities must be retarded, as including an empty function when it can work without it is most definitely bad syntax.

So what could be wrong with this?

Code:
function Create(self)
   self.timer = Timer()
end

function Update(self)
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      if actor.team ~= self.team then
         actor.PinStrength = 9999
      if self.timer:IsPastSimMS(3000) then
         actor.PinStrength = 0
      end
      end
   end
end

and this didnt work either

function Create(self)
   self.timer = Timer()
end

function Update(self)
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      if actor.team ~= self.team then
         actor.PinStrength = 9999
         if self.timer:IsPastSimMS(3000) then
            actor.PinStrength = 0
         end
      end
   end
end




Btw: they dont even get pinned.
