Just trying to help, hopefully it will.

Local MoveZ#
For S.Settler = Each Settler
    If S\Job = JOB_MOVE    ;I use all capitals when referring to those sort of things
        S\DstX = S\X - Order_X
        S\DstY = S\Y - Order_Y
        S\DstZ = S\Z - Order_Z
        OrderMagnitude# = Sqr(S\DstX*S\DstX+S\DstY*S\DstY+S\DstZ*S\DstZ)
        S\DstX = S\DstX / OrderMagnitude
        S\DstY = S\DstY / OrderMagnitude
        S\DstZ = S\DstZ / OrderMagnitude
        AlignToVector S\Picker,S\DstX,S\DstY,S\DstZ,3,1  ; you're moving with a Z speed, so align it to the Z axis (3)

        If MoveZ > OrderMagnitude Then
            MoveZ = OrderMagnitude
        Else
            MoveZ = 2
        EndIf

        MoveEntity S\Picked,0,0,MoveZ
        
        S\X = EntityX(S\Picker,True)
        S\Z = EntityZ(S\Picker,True)
    EndIf

    S\Y = TerrainHeight(Terrain,S\X,S\Z) * 128 + 1
    PositionEntity S\Picker,S\X,S\Y,S\Z,True
    PositionEntity S\Image,S\X,S\Y,S\Z,True
Next

I think the problem with yours is that 1. you're aligning the entity to the X axis and 2. you're not getting the delta of the positions.

Just a guess, though, I'd have to see the problem in real-time to understand properly.
