Rigidbody.angularVelocity

Description

The angular velocity vector of the rigidbody measured in radians per second.

In most cases you should not modify it directly, as this can result in unrealistic behaviour.

// Change the material depending on the speed of rotation
var fastWheelMaterial : Material;
var slowWheelMaterial : Material;

var rb: Rigidbody;
var rend: MeshRenderer;

function Start() {
    rb = GetComponent.<Rigidbody>();
    rend = GetComponent.<MeshRenderer>();
}


function Update () {
    if (rb.angularVelocity.magnitude < 5) {
        rend.sharedMaterial = slowWheelMaterial;
    }
    else {
        rend.sharedMaterial = fastWheelMaterial;
    }
}

// Change the material depending on the speed of rotation
