 If we want to change the stance of the soldier, we can do so via this CharacterController.

+Notice that these are 'STANCE CHANGES' - not the actual stances (which are defined in [[scripting:echaracterstance.c]]).
 Great!  You are now able to control a soldier's stance by script!
+==== Move ====
+Now lets try make the character move. To move a character, we need to know what speed and direction you want to move. We will use a variable which we declare as a '[[scripting:datatypes#vector]]' as shown below.
+  vector direction = {0,0,1};
+The 'soldier_c' variable contains the CharacterController, and like with the stances, you can control the movement. Below you see the 'SetMovement' command to which we pass 'speed' (2) and the variable 'direction'.
+  soldier_c.SetMovement(2, direction);
+That should do the trick. Your character should be moving in the given direction.
