For loops can help with that; should bring things down to a few lines of code (if the entities are named conveniently).

I'm more worried about the lag it may/may not cause moving 20+ entitys at once.

If they're low poly entities, then it shouldn't be that much of a problem. If you're planning on moving dead corpses or enemy entities, then it should lag like crazy.

I'd have around 3600 polygons moving at once.

One graveyard corpse is more than that and it took over 12 of them to lag my map. Not sure what entity you plan on using, though.

Alright, at least what i want is do-able. Thank you.

It wouldn't help to recreate them in a scene and export as dae anyway; poly count is poly count, the lag wouldn't be based on how many meshes you have at once. And it might seem like scripting a lot of stuff will cause a lot of lag, but it most cases it really won't.
