Get world velocity?

[RumbleMonk]

Is there such a thing as 'get world velocity' of a pawn?

If my e.g paper2d character stands on a moving platform 'get velocity' will return [0,0,0] which is obviously not its world velocity, and I can't find anything that'll give me this data.

Does anyone know of an easy way to get this? Or if it's not easily accessible? Or a hard way to get it?

Thanks.

I think you want to use the node called "Get Velocity".



Should work with paper 2d too.

Hope it helps.

Its normal, when your character is standing on a flying thing, if your character dont move, its velocity will be 0. I think u should get velocity of the moving platform instead of the character.

Let's go a step further. If they are standing still and your getting velocity. To what means are you using it for? Velocity is relative like a parked car on the earth is going pretty fast but says zero mph

I'm not at a computer to try this but say you run a tick on this

Tick - self get world location set locationA delay 1sec, self get world location set locationB ... LocationA-LocationB -length

This should return your velocity per second?
