¶ Speedometer
Category: 🚀 Motion
¶ Description
Continuously emits the block's speed and acceleration. Use inside a group to make shakers and other instruments that react to movement.
Tracks the position of the block (or group) frame-to-frame and outputs the magnitude of its velocity and acceleration, plus per-axis (X/Y/Z) breakdowns. By default, axes are aligned with the world ('Ignore rotation' on); turn off to use the block's local axes. Includes a jump-limit guard so teleporting the block doesn't produce a spike in the output.

| Ignore rotation | checkbox | When enabled, the per-axis outputs are reported in world coordinates. When disabled, they use the block's local coordinates (so rotating the block changes which world direction each axis tracks). Serialization keyword: ignoreRotation |
| Jump limit | slider | Maximum frame-to-frame distance (in meters) the block can move before being considered teleported. Larger jumps reuse the previous velocity, avoiding spikes when the block is repositioned. Serialization keyword: _jumpLimit |
