Moving Prim

Hello,
I am new to scripting and was wondering how to have a physical prim move on its own within the bounds of a parceled piece of land. I have tried writing but unfortunately all my scripts move non-physical prims. Thanks for help in advance.

Can you tell us more about what you'd like? Like, is this an object that just wanders at random or do you want it to move to specific places?

I was looking for it to move at random while staying in the confines of its parcel.

llApplyImpulse or llMoveToTarget to get the movement, llOverMyLand to check either if it's left you parcel (or if a move to target would put it outside that parcel)

llFrand for your randomness
you can apply direction as
llEuler2Rot( <0.0, 0.0, llFrand( PI )> );

not sure of the internal scale of rots offhand or I'd just have printed the random direction code for a rot which would look like
<0.0, 0.0, llFrand( X ), 1.0>
