Need Fairly Advanced Script Help! - PixelHurricane - 07-24-2012

First of all, please only answer what you know.
Second, don't just give me this site. I know it and use it, I need to know what functions in it i need.
Spoiler below!
Lastly, if you can solve the problem from a different approach then mine, by all means tell me!

Now for my problem list.
  • I need to have a certain entity move at a velocity. example: have a box fly at the player from a stand still position
  • I also need to have an entity move with the players view. example: simulate the player dragging something in a cut scene.
  • and last but not least I need to have a flash to obstruct vision. example: like the flashback type flash but faster and not triggering a cut scene
If you can help me with any of these it would be much appreciated!
EDIT: I am not a noob to the editor, so please don't respond like I am one.

1st: To make something move without a player touching it you use AddPropForce or AddPropImpulse

2nd: Well you can use something like StartPlayerLookAt and AddPropForce/AddPropImpulse

3rd: Use the normal "Flashback" style and just mess around with the options of them since you have the power to change the values of the code and also you choose if it should create a flashback or just flash.
