Need help with an event

[Gsterman]

So I want to know if you can do this even with addon events, but what I want to do it have a brick that when I click a button it goes forward or any other way its bound to.
How would I do this?

Move a brick through events?

[Gsterman]

yes, but its like your controlling it by clicking buttons

so like
press a brick with ^ on it and the brick moves foward one brick
and then press v to go back one brick
and then < > to go left and right one brick

If the brick is only moving relative to itself then is should be easy to do this using only directional relays. If you want to increase the distance, you could set the relay to fire only at a particular named brick. Each time the relay fires, the brick that fired the relay has its name changed to a 'null' value, with the new position-brick getting the relay-reception name instead. Not so sure about it.

Directional relays wont work.
They literally do nothing, for example

I make it so I click a brick it fires a relay west
then a put a relay directly west of that brick and make it play a sound on a relay/make an explosion/fire a projectile
and nothing happens when I click the brick to fire the relay

sounds like a problem with directional relays

are you positive the 'brick to the west' is actually to the west? is the western brick touching the first brick? both of these are requirements...
