Suggestion: If object close to another object X pixels

CF2.5 specifically had this added... You can find it in the Special Conditions. You can get distance and angle.

Konidias, I didn't know the above had been added. Had a quick look but can't get it to work. Asking because I usually stretch an active from the player sprite to the enemy instance to get the distance. This may save me that hassle.

What build of Fusion 2.5 are you using?

I've not had any problem with it, but perhaps you are doing it so it only checks against the first soldier / turret. Are you using a "For Each Object" / "For Each of Two Objects" loop to test each object? This feature is listed under an object, under "Count", and runs a fastloop per object(s).

Ensure you are entering the right inputs, e.g. Distance(X( "Active" ),Y( "Active" ),X( "Active 2" ),Y( "Active 2" ))

The angle and distance functions are great but it would actually be a good idea to have an event condition to test for this. ie: If "Object A is within 'n' pixels of Object B" just like the "Object is getting closer than 'n' pixels from window's edge" under the position conditions. Would mean no need to construct foreach tests on all objects in events, Fusion would be able to filter more efficiently.

Nice one NastyMan, anything to make things easier to do is surely a good idea - Please login to see this link..

Joshtek, thanks. It was me doing it wrong. Sorted.

AndyH, yes, Nastyman's idea would be easier. Something else that could prove useful: a "Line of sight is clear" condition that highlights when "Object A is within 'n' pixels of Object B" is being used. Or they could use a similar format to Distance: Line of sight (X( "Active" ),Y( "Active" ),X( "Active 2" ),Y( "Active 2" )) is clear. Maybe it could be implemented so you don't have to mess about scaling actives and checking for overlaps with background/active obstacles.

No idea how i need help too!
