the direction an object is moving

[brcimo]

I was wondering how to find out the direction/angle a body is moving in, not necessarily the angle it is facing. So if a ball is flying in the air, I want to know what direction it is moving, not the angle it is pointed in. Sorry if this has already been covered, but I couldn't find anything in a search about it. Thank You for the help!

It seems I was able to solve this myself, here's what I came up with:

Code: Select all

float tAngle;
tAngle = cpvtoangle(sBody->v);

Seems to give me the right angle anyway. Thoughts?

That is correct, however the result is undefined when the object is not moving. Be careful of that.
