If you go to the player.cs file and look for Armor::onEnterLiquid() function, you'll see some switch/cases that you can use to help you with this.

I haven't tested it out myself, but I think the only way to do it in script is to call a schedule that moves the player in a direction over and over. Pretty hacky but I'm not that well versed in C++ just yet.

The %obj argument is the one you're going to want to use to manipulate the player's position using %obj.getPosition().

I'll see if I can't get it to work for myself and post again with more info for you hopefully.
