Bug while get dragon riding speed ?

[gmarco]

Hi all,

I have a little addon that shows the speed of the player.
It is using the formula:

speed = (GetUnitSpeed("Player") / 7) * 100
dataobj.text = string_format("%.1f", speed)

That I got a lot of times ago from here:
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API_GetUnitSpeed

Now it works nicely if I use a new drake of DF and not fly with it showing 210 as speed but as soon it fly up it drop to 0 ... and stay 0 with all the drake abilities during the flight.

Is there something new I have to check ? Or the API have to be updated for the new dragon riding mount types ?

I have tried also different UnitID but without luck.

Thanks for any help.

I've run into the same issue and it appears the function doesn't support the dragonriding mechanic. In watching events fire, I've been seeing VEHICLE_ANGLE_UPDATE fire a lot while on a dragonriding mount, but it doesn't do so reliably enough to be useful.
