Need a math wiz for a Velocity issue.

Maybe this is not actually a difficult thing to figure out however does anyone know how to Calculates a total velocity based on the Linear.Velocity.X and Linear.Velocity.Y

its actually quite frustrating to have that as the only velocity options through attributes but something like the move to behavior uses a single number. How can I use moveTo and match the speed of another actor that is not using a behavior to set the velocity? Any ideas. There has to be a way to determine this magical number.

Thanks
Aaron

    Well for anyone who doesn't know this I just figured her out. LOL

    a²+b²=c²

    a = self.linearvelocity.x
    b = self.linearvelocity.y
    c = overall velocity

    now you got your math lesson for the day.

    Perhaps time against magnitude between timed x y points of actor you want to get would work?

    ahh! you got the yourself answer before I posted and it looks very sensible

    LOL it works perfect too. I found the answer in some info regarding trajectory and velocities. gave it a shot and sure nuff thats it.
