Currently, acquiring the velocity at a given position in parallel Luau requires manually doing all of the necessary math, which is rather annoying given that there is a method designed for the express purpose of getting this exact value (see GetVelocityAtPosition)
This is especially annoying because all of the necessary properties are (at least) parallel read-safe, including:
- CFrame
- AssemblyLinearVelocity
- AssemblyAngularVelocity
- AssemblyCenterOfMass
Is there any reason in particular that GetVelocityAtPosition is not thread safe, despite this data being available? It doesn’t make much sense to me.
