Hi,

You could check pawn position every frame and divide the distance walked each frame by the frame time.
Check the following BP. (Save image to your desktop to see something :))

You might wan’t to smooth everything by doing this calculation every 500 ms for example.

Hey, I noticed today there is a much easier way to do this, by using Get Velocity on the Player Pawn. You will then be able to get velocity vector which is in cm/s. You can just apply the same conversion I show above.
