has anyone written a script that gets the velocity of a person/vehicle/whatever in one number (instead of in an array)?

It's the "speed" function.

Speed returns the velocity in km/h.  To convert to meters/second, multiply the results by 0.277:

_s = (speed player) * 0.2777

Err... velocity is a vector (ie. has a directional component) and as such can't be expressed as a single number...

However, if it's speed you're after, you can use the command:

speed unit

To find the linear speed of a unit ;)
