Hi,
My problem is the next;

I have a prime, with a direction. I want to move that prime 5 meters into that (vector)direction.

How to do that ?.

http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llVecNorm might help:

In outline, you'd be taking your direction vector, norming it, multiplying it by 5 and adding that to the current position.

The scripting is left as an exercise to the learner...:)

Thanks for the outline, it turns out to WORK :D

vector newpos = llGetPos();
rotation rot = llGetRot();
newpos += (llRot2Up(rot) * -5);
