I want to make the Player character to blink 50 units behind himself when this effect happens. There's also the issue of clipping into terrain or going through walls that I don't know how to fix.

I'm using TranslateTo instead of MoveTo because MoveTo lags the game.

TranslateTo doesn't blink. It does what its name implies. It translates, or slides an ObjectReference. And TranslateTo() bypasses collision on objects and removes collision on actors - that's why actors go through everything. I had found a way to return collision to actors, http://www.creationkit.com/Talk:TranslateTo_-_ObjectReference, but I still cant explain why it worked, and I haven't tried the method outside of a magic effect script.

An alternative to MoveTo is SetPosition() which also blinks. You can pass the same co-ords with GetPosition() stored variables into SetPosition().

Keep in mind, if the SetPosition, like MoveTo, is called and the distance is large enough, you will enter a load screen.
