PositionEntity

A mesh is a collection of numbers which represent co-ordinates of vertices.

"PositionMesh mesh, x,y,z" changes these numbers by adding x,y,z to all co-ordinates.
The name is misleading. ModifyMesh would be more descriptive.

PositionEntity does not change a mesh at all. It just tells the 3D engine where to place something in the 3D world.

A simple use for positionmesh is often combining it with addmesh in order to build a larger mesh from components.
