Hi guys. How far from A to B?

[AerosolSP]

That's right ladies and gents. I'm wondering if you guys know an extension free method of finding the distance between two points. All I have so far is that I think it has something to do with pythagora's theorem. What do you guys think? thanks for the assist!

d=sqrt((x2-x1) pow 2+(y2-y1) pow 2)

cant quite get it to work, here's the exact formula i have in mmf2

Sqr(( X( "Active 2" )-X( "sprSonic" )Exp( 2 )+(Y( "Active 2" )-Y( "sprSonic" )Exp( 2 ))

active2 is pointb and sprSonic is pointa. I promise this isn't a sonic fangame people

I didn't say Exp, I said pow which is exactly how it is in MMF 2.

Sqr(( X( "Active 2" )-X( "sprSonic" )) pow 2+(Y( "Active 2" )-Y( "sprSonic" )) pow 2)

or something like that.

ah, i just didnt see a pow button.

EDIT: It seems to always equal 90..

The Clickteam Movement Object (comes with build 243) has a distance expression.

That's the formula i use since eons to get distances:

Sqr((( X( "hero" ) - X( "enemie" )) * ( X( "hero" ) - X( "enemie" ))) + (( Y( "hero" ) - Y( "enemie" )) * ( Y( "hero" ) - Y( "enemie" ))))

No pow

You can use it in any number of dimensions which is useful
