distace between objects with extension?

[integrality]

greets

need to detect distance between objects by one single event (instead of 4), cant remember if there was an extension for that.

The Clickteam Movement Controller Extension, which comes with build 243 has this feature along with get angle.

lol forgot also pitagora can be fetched by expressions

thanks anyhow

What do you mean 'instead of 4'???

Why not:

Distance = sqrt( pow( X( "active1" ) - X( "active2" ), 2) + pow( Y( "active1" ) - Y( "active2" ), 2) )

It's one event, just a mathematical one.

the fateful equation makes its return...

Why not:

Distance = sqrt( pow( X( "active1" ) - X( "active2" ), 2) + pow( Y( "active1" ) - Y( "active2" ), 2) )

It's one event, just a mathematical one.

thats what I wanted to do, I'm uncapable to make the pow trough MMF expression tho.

In MMF, pow is an operator :

Distance = sqrt( (X("active1")-X("active2")) pow 2 + (Y("active1")- Y("active2")) pow 2 )

I had some trouble figuring out how to use pow a while ago.
Simpler put it's used like this:

2 pow 3

would yield 8.

...which is exactly what he did
