Title: How to get another object's speed for a gameobject?
Post by: Artoo on April 08, 2018, 10:47:54 AM

Hello,
I'm making a racing game, and I would need a car to get the relative speed of another car in front of it, to determine if it should keep drafting behind it or overtake/avoid slower or stationary cars.

I tried this with a raycast from the front of the car and storing the hit object, but I only get 0m/s from that.

Can anyone help how to properly do this?

Relativ speed is the difference of leading car speed and following car speed. To get the the speed use "get velocity" or do a simple math.
