Unity Script Reference – Rigidbody.GetPointVelocity

Rigidbody.GetPointVelocity

function GetPointVelocity (worldPoint : Vector3) : Vector3

Description

The velocity of the rigidbody at the point worldPoint in global space.

GetPointVelocity will take the angularVelocity of the rigidbody into account when calculating the velocity.

JavaScript

// Prints the velocity of the wheel

var point : Vector3;
var velocity : Vector3;
point = transform.InverseTransformPoint(Vector3(0, -.2, 0));
velocity =  rigidbody.GetPointVelocity(point);
print(velocity.magnitude);
