What's the formula for moving an object along a local axis? I saw it once and now I'm danged if I can remember it. Thanks!

Multiply the movement vector by the objects rotation.

force=localVector*llGetRot();


Or, for non-phys movement
llSetPos(llGetPos()+movement*llGetRot());

vector move = original vector * llGetLocalRot() or similar.

These might be something along the lines of what you are looking for.

They only work for distances 10 meters or less. To go farther you would need to add a loop that terminates when it gets close enough.
CODE
movex( float d ) 
{ llSetPos( llGetPos() + (llRot2Fwd( llGetRot() ) * d) ) ;
}


movey(float d ) 
{ llSetPos( llGetPos() + (llRot2Left( llGetRot() ) * d) ) ; 
}

movez(float d ) 
{ llSetPos( llGetPos() + (llRot2Up( llGetRot() ) * d ) ) ;
}
