How is movement speed calculated in warcraft?

[neku99]

Title say's it all. . .

Well basically I'm just curious on how warcraft calculates movement speed. Like for example:

If movement speed is 150, how many units per unit of time (preferably second) does it move the unit.

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

i think it would be 150 a second? i think. Not sure

 

[defskull]

It moves with 150 units per second
In Warcraft, we use units OR range
Like the movement speed for a certain unit is 500, meaning it will move 500 units/area per second
This can be best explained (if you play DotA) by Bloodseeker's Ultimate, Rupture

wew thanks for the info guys!

Hey a side question:

What would be the best equivalent of unit/second in real life SI units

like meters/second etc. What do you think is the best equivalent?

Well anyway + rep!

Hmm, the best equivalent would be movespeed of 50 = 1 metre/second

You can also take kilometres/hours, then you would need to multiply the number with 3,6.
