Speedometer

Description
This doodad is a speedometer, pas an object such as a truck through the lasers and the wooden pointer points at the estimated speed. if you have ever seen the inside of a car in your life you will understand.



feedback is highly appreciated, this thing gets more and more inconsistent as speed rises or the object gets smaller.

The reason I think the speedometer doesn't work for fast and small objects is due to how the speedometer works. It seems that you're measuring the time it takes to cross a known distance. Since a metronome goes up to 32 Hz, it won't be very accurate for things that are going very fast. Say, if the distance between the two lasers were 10 squares, the speedometer would have a 1-tick gap between ∞, 320, 160, 106.67, 80, 64 SPS etc. so it isn't very accurate for high speeds, and there's also the problem of how People Playground handles physics. If an object goes too fast towards a glass pane, the collision will not be registered and it will "phase through" the pane. Similarly, if an object goes too fast across a laser, there will be no frame where the laser is registered as being stopped by an object in front of it. This depends on the size of the object and FPS. Lower FPS is more prone to the phase through glitch, which makes it less accurate for lower FPS and smaller objects.

Disregard my last, didn't read the prior comments xD

Is there a version that would work for an unguided rocket I made? I strapped a thruster engine to a bomb and made it thinner, and it flies at what looks like hypersonic speeds.

it doesnt work for very fast and small things cuz lazers are dum
which is why id love improvement feedback

how do i measure speeds of super sonic smaller objects

made a button one for cars https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811894543

might not be accurate

drive an object like a car through both lasers. the speedometer hand will point at your speed

how does it work?

Make sure you read the signs broskis
