public Vector3 GetRelativePointVelocity(Vector3 relativePoint);

Description

The velocity relative to the rigidbody at the point relativePoint.

GetRelativePointVelocity will take the angularVelocity of the rigidbody into account when calculating the velocity.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public Rigidbody rb;

void Start() { rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); }

// Get the velocity of a wheel, specified by its position in local space. // This method assumes that the wheel is a child of the Rigidbody, or that the wheel translates relative to the Rigidbody. Vector3 CalcWheelVelocity(Vector3 localWheelPos) { return rb.GetRelativePointVelocity(localWheelPos); } }
