-This is a work in progress...
+{{wowapi}} __NOTOC__
+Added with WoW 3.0 {{wotlk-inline}}
-When the unit is not moving this returns 0<BR/>
+==Usage==
-When the unit is on a moving object such as a boat that's moving this returns 0<BR/>
+Returns a value representing the moving speed of a unit.
-When the unit is running at 100% (running on foot with no speed increase enhancements) this returns 7<BR/>
-When the unit is running at 175% (Death Knight home city) this returns 12.25<BR/>
-Still figuring out the relation between the speed and the value returned.
+ value = GetUnitSpeed("[[UnitId|unit]]")
+== Parameters ==
+=== Arguments ===
+:;unit : String - The [[unitId]] for which the speed information is returned. This has not been tested with all units but does work for "Player" units.
+=== Returns ===
+:;value : Number - value of the unit speed
+==== Examples ====
+Player unit moving at 100% -- value = 7<BR/>
+Player unit moving at 175% -- value = 12.25<BR/>
+Player unit moving at 200% -- value = 14<BR/>
+== Misc. Calculations ==
+* 1.75 = 12.25 so apparently 7 = 100%
+For example, the following will put the speed in % into the variable s.
+ s = string.format("%d", (GetUnitSpeed("Player") / 7) * 100);
