Can i get unit current speed?

[slogic]

I have looked through AI interface and all i can get is unit max speed. Is there some way to get unit CURRENT speed? Actually i need to know if unit is moving or not. Scanning its command queue for MOVE command is not tasty for me. Also i don't know if it will work for allied teams.

Unit.h does not have a field speed or current-speed or something.
How i think it works:
For each frame, the engine calculates how far the unit will get, according to its move-type, the terrain, a limit that says, do not move faster then unit X, ...
so the current speed changes each frame, but it is not saved in a variable, and you could just as well calculate it by tracing the units position. There should be little overhead there.

Isn't in simulation code it is calculated anyway? Just store it in a unit and expose to public. Calculation of speed per each AI type is stupid (if they really needed this info).

FYI, Kloot was so responsive that added this possibility in master with http://github.com/spring/spring/commit/ ... e3c96c30f8 commit.
