Found it! It looks like x.x, x.y and x.z allows you to access and modify x,y and z coordinates

You can also make use of the UnitX, UnitY and UnitZ global vectors.

for example

x-UnitY*2

Hi Danny, thanks! This way seems more logic and quick.

Or type a vector directly using curly brackets.

x - {0,2,0}

Thanks, it looks like I will be using less and less components!

Why not just learn C# and only have 1!

Just kidding :)

Bear in mind that you have more clicks for a user to alter data buried in <expressions>. Also If some one else has to review you definition for any reason its easier to follow the logic of dedicated components.

Will keep this in mind! Anyways, is good to know what the options and possibilities are,so that I can chose the one that works better for each case
