Here is a basic script to calculate and display kilometer per hour speed, based on the velocity of RigidBody physics

🤓 You could also just multiply by 3.6 😉
Looking from a brevity perspective, yes multiplied by 3.6 (60*60/1000) is better. But if I look at Josh Garrett's code in 5 months, I will immediately understand what the code does, but if it is just 3.6 - I will have to spend a few extra milliseconds or seconds/minutes to understand what it means 🙂

Haha thanks Alan, I was never very good at math, someone said velocity/1000 x 60 (minutes) x 60 (hours), so multiply the magnitude by 3.6? or the magnitude divided by 1000?
Will give some tests, thanks again

Since there is no complier in VS that will optimize the arithmetic together, and the cost of executing a single node is much higher than regular c# reducing the amount of nodes like this can be pretty important.
In this case, where it's happening once~ per frame it's not a big deal.
