Formula to obtain player speed for diagonal move?

Hello -

How do I obtain the player's (or any other object, for that matter) speed when moving diagonally? I believe it has to use linear velocity for x and y, but I can't figure out how they are used in a formula.

Thanks, regards.

    Nevermind.

    a2 + b2 = c2

    or

    ObjectSpeed = sqrt( LinearVelocityXˆ2 + LinearVelocityYˆ2 )

    Or, you could use the Magnitude function.
    I think that would give the same result.

    Best,
