Rigidbody.GetRelativePointVelocity

Switch to Manual
GetRelativePointVelocity(relativePoint: Vector3): Vector3;
Vector3 GetRelativePointVelocity(Vector3 relativePoint);
def GetRelativePointVelocity(relativePoint as Vector3) as Vector3

Description

The velocity relative to the rigidbody at the point relativePoint.

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

	// 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);

        point = transform.InverseTransformPoint(new Vector3(0, -0.2F, 0));
        velocity = rigidbody.GetPointVelocity(point);
        print(velocity.magnitude);
