Oh, you want it to move continuously.

For the speed use BodyVelocity.
For the direction use BodyGyro.

So like this?

For example

for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.Model:GetChildren()) do
Vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
Vel.Parent = v
Gyr = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
Gyr.Parent = v
end


1 - Is that how i would do it?

2 - How would i make it all move at a direction and how would i make it go a speed i want

Dirk

That's just like saying

m = Instance.new("Message",Workspace)

And you say no text.

I know nothing bout bodyvelocity or position, but look at it's properties and test some things out.

I was wondering, do you have to put it in each brick or just the model?

well you need a basic understanding of form factor from the wiki and you would put this in a while wait() do script if you want it to do this over and over.

while wait(0.1) do
c = Instance.new("RocketPropulsion")
d = game.Workspace.Boat:GetChildren()
c.Parent = d.BackOfTheBoatsNameHere
thats how you would start it.
