How should I go about making a speed detecting system?

Asked by

Alright, so I develop for a group and the owner keeps pushing me to make a speed radar for his police vehicles, my problem is I have no idea how to go about it...

I've had a few ideas like making the vehicles store a speed value in their car as it changes, but I can't change the coding of any of the civillian vehicles, so that won't work.

I have wondered if there is a way to pull a player's speed, but I have no clue about that.

Any and all suggestions or ideas about what to do for this will be a huge help to me... Anything will help related to this issue.

Velocity is distance/time. Just calculate how much distance the car goes in x amount of time. User#21908 42 — 5y

As Phlegethon said, use the formula for velocity. I generally just run a spawn function which holds an old point (p1) and a new point (p2), and check their magnitude. Then divide the magnitude by the spawn function's interval rate. SummerEquinox 643 — 5y

You could use :GetRealyPhysics() - https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/function/Workspace/GetRealPhysicsFPS TZ_VoidX 0 — 5y

All objects affected by physics will have their Velocity property change depending on the moving direction and speed of the object. The length of the vector is the object's speed: object.Velocity.Magnitude (studs/s).

Alright, so I'm trying to use raycasting to find a part, any idea how I can get it to return what the part was? CryptoBloodXaos 13 — 5y

The speed detector set up

Part A:

Part B:

A loop that increments each second

Distance is pre-calculated when you place the distance between part A and B which is divided by the time and displayed on the detector as a surface gui.
