Addition of "e.vel"

[Rideg]

What I'm suggesting is a way to get the velocity of an object without the maths. e.pos already exist and I couldn't go on without using it. but a e.vel? Picture this: You've built a great engine and when you use it on a car it works perfectly. Until it gets to a high velocity and you get circles all over the place. It takes all prestige from your work and scatters it like circles over a field. Instead you have your spawn engine and in the circle script you type: vel := 20 * e.normal + e.vel;
that would prevent it from failing at higher speeds.

What do you think. Am I being childish belivieving this could work or can it be done?

Thank you for reading.

Supprot.

But I think it should be e.this.vel or e.other.vel (without so called "New method"(also e.this.pos would be good...))

PS I think it can be done, because if we can calculate vel, what prevents to make a regular property...

Velocity is calculated by comparing position (e.pos) with the position of the last step.
Kind of like saying 10 seconds ago i was 100 meters away therefor i am moving at 10m/s.

Although in Algodoo the vel and the actual speed is different.
Speed can be calculated like so.
[x, y] = Vel
(x^2 + y^2)^0.5 = Speed

I know how it's calculated.
The e.this.* is for objects variables that can be changed without new method. A e.vel would access the velocity directly from the object.

I'm referring to velocity not speed.
