Question about calculating distance to multiple family objects in Construct 3

Hello,

I’m trying to scale a card depending on how close it is to a character. The problem is that I have several different character objects grouped into a Family, and I want the card to scale based on the nearest character in that family.

However, I cannot find a Nearest function in Construct 3 that works like this.

Here is the code I tried:

Set Scale ---> max(0.2, min(2,

distance(Card.X, Card.Y,

Familie1.Nearest(Card.X,Card.Y).X,

Familie1.Nearest(Card.X,Card.Y).Y

) / 400))

My question is:

How can I calculate the distance from a card to the nearest object in a family, when there are multiple objects in that family?

Is there a recommended way to do this in Construct 3?

I’m still new to Construct 3, so any tips would really help.

Thanks a lot!

Thorsten

Thank you, igortyhon. Your example was really good. I had actually managed to do it myself in a different way, but your example is very good. I appreciate your help.

I do have one external question though: I saw that there were problems with the Steam extension and I read a bit about it, but it seems to be fixed now, according to Ashlay, right?

I publish games for the web and mobile devices. I’m not qualified to answer your question.

But I know we have people here who do that and are always discussing it; I don’t think they’ll notice your question about Steam here.

It might be better to check out the latest threads about Steam or create a separate question.
