This is just a really simple (but fairly effective) fastloop-based movement engine for MMF 1.5 (and above, I'd assume). You need only insert a small chunk of code into an application, and then any object with the Group.Good qualifier will be capable of moving around, using its alterable values A and C for horizontal and vertical movement (and a few more for various things; a complete list of values and flags used is inside the code).

And that's it!

Fantasticly commented engine, one criticism though. You didn't explain your formula for Aterable Value A you just told us not to use it. Can i also make a request? Can you please show me how to make the collision box system?

Actually, Podunkian's got a really nice collision box tutorial over at Total Klik :

...And you're referring to the formula in the quick-and-dirty movement? It's just adding 11 times the current speed to 1 times the maximum speed, then dividing it all by 12. It's just a quick way to get an object to accelerate slightly to a certain speed.

Excellent engine. One thing though: It looks a bit silly when walking down slopes. It seems to do these small jumps instead of walking smoothly down the slope. I'm sure it could be fixed though, and I know how hard it is to do.

Anyway, thumbs up for you!
