I need some assistance with understanding velocity?
I've known how to make things go forwards with velocity since I started scripting...
object.Velocity = object.CFrame.lookVector *1234--random number which would move real fast
Is their any other way to do this to the left and right?

Sure, the lookVector returns a direction facing the -z axis of the CFrame. You can use the components to return the other directional vectors (which may be the most efficient) or you can do this:
local objectCF = object.CFrame; local rotation = objectCF - objectCF.p; -- We remove (subtract) position from the CFrame local left = rotation * Vector3.new(-1, 0, 0); -- We multiply it by a Vector3 with -1 on the x-axis (which is left.) object.Velocity = left * 1234;

using rotation * Vector3.new(1, 0, 0) would be right? xolbStudios 127 — 10y

Yes, or you can do left * -1234 jakedies 315 — 10y
