How do I measure the speed of a VehicleSeat using a variable?

Please mark this as solved.

I had a quick look at the Jeeps roblox has for one of it's studio templates that uses the headsupdisplay

I originally thought that there was a maybe a read only variable already part of it but apparently not.

You can though use something like this:

local Speed = script.Parent.DriveSeat.Velocity.Magnitude

The downside is that it returns a float (a decimal) So you'll end up with extremely long numbers like 79.9746372845. I recommend you use some rounding to fix that though.

Edit:

I did just double check this and made a little line of code for printing it. Since you can't print a float or an integer remember to convert to string first with tostring() print(tostring(Speed))

Edit2:

If it is returning 0 here is what I suggest: Create a new script inside the drive seat with the following code:

while true do
    wait(1)
    print(tostring(script.Parent.Velocity.Magnitude))
end

And make sure your driving the vehicle! Else your number will stay at 0 because your not moving!
