Calculate the destination position, and send motion commands, while 
comparing reported avatar position with calculated destination, until 
you get to where you're going? (Essentially approximating your way to 
the target)
Of course, you're going to want to implement a pathfinding algorithm the 
instant something solid winds up in the way.
