Distance

by Quentin Headen · in Torque Game Engine · 02/14/2007 (3:13 pm) · 1 replies

I have one question. In my game there is an Ai wheeled vehicle. When I say setMoveDestination() I just wanted to know if there is a way I can get the distance my car is from the destination. Please let me know this.

Thank you.

    Yes indeed--I just asked this question the other day. What you want is some variation on:

    %dist=vectorDist(%this.getPosition(), %node.getPosition());

    woo woo! I knew the answer to someone's question!

    Just out of curiousity, why do you want to know? I was tinkering with ways to get vehicles to slow down better for complex paths. Ended up doing it rather differently...
