Notes
- If the movetype of the entity is MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS (aka, if the entity uses physics simulations) you need to use :SetVelocity on the PHYSICS object of the entity.
- The function actually adds the vector specified to the current velocity, rather than replacing the current velocity.
- Entity:SetLocalVelocity(Vector(x,x,x)) actually sets the Velocity of an entity instead of adding to the entity's current velocity.
