Am I right in doing velocity to speed by doing x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = speed^2? I just need to know the speed that an object is traveling, don't care about the direction.

not exactly what I was looking for, guess I want I want is to put velocity given from lsl into a single number. I don't care about direction, so for instance, llDetectedVel(0) = <1, 1, 1>, if I just wanted the velocity, not caring that it's going 1 positive in the x, y, z direction, would the velocity be sqrt(3)? I think it would, but would like confirmation on that

llVecMag(llGetVel()); will return the straight line Speed of the object
