Setvelocity - think of it as "addvelocity"

[Prospero 1]

It's worth bearing this in mind:

The setVelocity command is pretty awesome. It helps to think of it though as *adding* velocity on to the velocity which the OFP game engine would otherwise assign to an object.

Edit: Oops this came out a bit wrong - what I meant was that it can be very useful when you use it to add on velocity (relative) compared to setting a velocity (absolute).
