How do I find distance between two same type objects created in realtime?

Hi Friends,

Need a help. In my game, objects a and b (of same type) are created.

How can I find distance between the two objects each time so that when they are closer than 50 px they will blast. (I am using object.IID instead of object.UID)

Regards,

Jatin

distance(sprite(id1).x,sprite(id1).y,sprite(id2).x,sprite(id2).y)

distance(sprite(id1).x,sprite(id1).y,sprite(id2).x,sprite(id2).y)

Hi Friend,

I tried above solution but it not taking the function.

My code is below.

distance(Dot.IID(63).X,Dot.IID(63).Y,Dot.IID(67).X,Dot.IID(67).Y)

DOT is my sprite name and for ID im taking IID.

distance(sprite(id1).x,sprite(id1).y,sprite(id2).x,sprite(id2).y)

How you assigning id1 etc to your sprites?

These id1,id2,etc.. are actually IIDs. If you only have 2 instances of the object on your layout, their IIDs will be 0 and 1. So you can use:

distance(Sprite(0).x, Sprite(0).y, Sprite(1).x, Sprite(1).y)

.

If you have many instances and need to know the distance between any two, you'll need to find their IIDs first.

Alternatively, you can create a family with this sprite and do this:

Pick Sprite instance
Pick Family instance
 if distance(Sprite.x, Sprite.y, Family.x, Family.y) ....

Thanks DOP, this way worked for me. Now I can calculate distance between two points now.
