void MoveEntityPosition()
{
	// Create a 3D Vector and save the position data into it
    // X: 55, Y: 5, Z: 25
	cVector3f positionData = cVector3f(55, 5, 25);
		
	iLuxEntity@ entity = Map_GetEntity("MyEntity"); // Get the iLuxEntity object of our entity in the map
	entity.SetPosition(positionData); // Set the new position of the entity
}

Every technical feature in HPL3 has a corresponding class to it (Lights, Billboards, Materials, GUI, etc), which makes scripting in HPL3 very flexible and allows you do modify anything through script.
