How to make an entity move on X and Z axis?

[The MasterNater]

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to scripting Amnesia custom stories. I am able to do some basic to moderate scripting on my own, but there's still some things I don't know. In particular, I need to know if its possible to move an entity or a compound on the X and Z axis (sideways, forwards, backwards, etc.), and if so, how?

To move entities you got a new function called SetEntityPos.
But there's no way to know what angle the entity is facing, sadly.

I wanna mention as well that you can push objects around with AddPropImpulse.

What i do is SUPER easy;
Click an entity and move it around while moving around LOOK TO THE RIGHT PANEL.
There you will see the numbers change (X-Ayis Y-Axis Z-Axis), THERE you can see what direction your entity is going, SO, if you want to script it you know what direction you need to knoe.
Easy

Thank you Daemian, I'll give it a try and get back to this thread once I have to let you know if it worked or not. Lol, DnAlange, that wasn't quite what I mean (I'm very used to the level editor by now- my fault for not making my question clear), but thank you for trying to help. My issue is trying to script entities to move in-game (much like the cars at the beginning of your Premonition full conversion mod). If you have any advice to add to Daemians, let me know.
