How, how can I check the speed of any moving part?

Hey, pretty much the title.
I’m trying to create a function that would check the speed of a moving part, with any sort of method that’s moving the part.

Thanks in advanced!

You can use AssemblyLinearVelocity.

Oh interesting, How’d that work? if you don’t mind me asking

#4

BasePart.AssemblyLinearVelocity will return the linear velocity vector of the BasePart’s assembly. It’s the rate of change in position of the assembly’s center of mass in studs per second.

speed is distance / time so the function would take at least 0.1 seconds to return a value.
try returning the magnitude between two positions that a part is in at different times.

function partSpeed(part)
    local pos = part.Position
    wait(0.1)
    return (part.Position - pos).magnitude
end

Ah I see I see, thank you very much.
