Hi!
I'm wondering... Is there some way to get the direction AND speed in which a thing is moving in? The thing is that I have this ball and depending on which way you kick it, it will roll in that direction, using SetThingRotVel();.
Anyone know how I should do this?

GetThingMoveSize(victim); and GetThingVel(victim); maybe?

Something like VectorZ(v_pos) >= x && VectorZ(my_pos) or VectorY, something like that might work.

Just an idea.

1) Grab the object's position
2) Wait ~0.1 seconds
3) Grab it again
4) Do some crazy vector math
5) Your direction!

Id give you the formula, but vector math was never my string point...

GetThingVel(); gets the speed (VectorLen(GTV())) and direction. How you're going to apply that in P Y R format for the ball to roll, I have no idea.

Maybe this guy knows?
