Motion & Falling Blocks

[AsuDev]

How can I set the motion for entities? For example, I'm making a spell and instead of using "set block" I'm using falling block entities and I want to know how I can set the motion for them.

I've been using "spawn falling block of dirt at location of loop-block" and also
"spawn "falling dirt" parsed as an entity type at location of loop-block"

Is it possible to set the motion for either of these or would I have to do something different?

push the last spawned entity with some speed in whatever direction or along a vector. Or just set its velocity

Can you write an example for this? What I'm trying to accomplish is a falling block to stay in the air or be on the floor but also still be an entity and not a block.

in that case just set its gravity state to false (skellet) https://docs.skunity.com/syntax/search/gravity state

Okay, now how do I delete the falling blocks after? I have this but it does not kill them.

command /testr:
trigger:
set {_loc} to location of block 4 blocks infront of player
set {_loc} to location of block 2 blocks above {_loc}
loop all blocks in radius 2 of {_loc}:
spawn falling block of sandstone at location of loop-block
set {_c} to last spawned entity
set gravity of {_c} to false
add {_c} to {_entities::*}
wait 2 seconds
loop {_entities::*}:
kill loop-value

They are still there even after I killed them...

delete loop-value

That didn't work either. I found a solution for this. I used "loop-value.remove();" and it worked
