> Say a speed of about 10, always in the direction the player is facing. Any ideas?
Yuck... the player is a physics thing. You would have to remove his gravity,
then set his speed with SetThingVel() every 0.05 second or so. There is a
cog verb to get the facing : GetThingLVec() or something...
-CogKing

For when you catch up :-)

Don't use the return value of GetThingLVec() as is, you have to normalize
the vector and then scale it to the speed you want. Like :

VectorScale(VectorNorm(GetThingLVec(GetLocalPlayerThing())), 10)
