Question

Is there a prebuilt function that checks if an object is in motion? A function that checks x,y,z tranform to tell if the object is in motion or at rest?

If not, any ideas on how to acomplish this task?

Thanks

If you have a rigidbody, then you can do Rigidbody.IsSleeping() to check if your rigidbody is sleeping

If you are using a Character Controller, then checking to see if CharacterController.velocity == Vector3.zero;

Or, you can manually save a Vector3 every frame that remembers the last position. Something like:

function Update () {
     curPos = position;
     if(curPos == lastPos) {
         print("Not moving");
     }
     lastPos = curPos;
}

Thanks Peter!

I will test out the Rigidbody.IsSleeping() function to see if it will work...

Thanks again!!!! Doodle

Is there a way to check all gameobjects in the scene to see if they are moving ?

Yes, just iterate through all the objects in your scene i.e. sceneObjects = FindObjectsOfType(GameObject); for(var gB : GameObject in sceneObjects) { //use above info }
