LlGetVel

Returns a vector that is the velocity of the object.

Velocity reported is relative to the global coordinate frame (the object rotation has no affect on this functions output).

//A very simple (and not very effective) way of keeping a physical object in place.
//If you ever want to actually stop an object, use llMoveToTarget(llGetPos(), .1)

            @loop;
            if (llVecMag(spd = llGetVel()) > .001)
            { //We're accelerating...
                llApplyImpulse(-spd, 0) //Slow us down.
            }
        jump loop;
        }
    }

To get the velocity relative the local frame (the direction the object is pointing), multiply the output of this function with that of it's rotation.

vector local_vel = llGetVel() * llGetRot()
