Movement Stuff (Unsure if this is right channel)

[slate sand]

Mainly based in command but I'm trying to branch into some other things. Basically, I've seen a lot of addons with a grapple hook type deal - pulling a player or an entity to a destination without using the teleport command. How can I make that happen? And, could I be able to control the speed of it?

So, that isn't really as much of a molang thing AFAIK. The methods I know of are using a ridden entity with a set velocity, or applying knockback with scripts

using scripting, not molang

function moveToPoint(entity, destination, startLoc) {
    const posDiff = {
        x: destination.x - startLoc.x,
        y: destination.y - startLoc.y,
        z: destination.z - startLoc.z
    };

    if (entity.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
    entity.applyKnockback(posDiff.x, posDiff.z, Math.sqrt(posDiff ** 2 + posDiff.z ** 2), posDiff.y);
} else {
    entity.applyImpulse(posDiff)
}```

thats an example

obviously this isnt a smooth movement its just an example

my bad, but whats the difference between how molang and scripting is coded?

[blissful veldt]

scripting is similar to modding in simple words (not really but similar), its javascript you can do almost everything, molang return values that you can use in conditions, animations and other things that support molang but you cant use it in entity component values as minecraft:knockback_roar because its json, json its all similar to presets

scripting is javascript and you can do almost everything, its just 100x times better

I highly recommend to you to learn scripting
