How do i measure travelled distance of a single object

In my game the players use touch to move a ball around.

There is an event:

on any touch end > apply physics force (acceleration) at angle Touch.AngleAt(0) at image point 0

but if the player accidentally tap on the sreen or the swipe movement is weak the ball barely moves, i wish that in both cases it didn't count as a move, and the player being able to try again without loosing his turn.

If i could measure the travelled distance of the ball, or compare the object position before and after the touch i could solve this problem.

I know that bullet behavior has this expression (travelled distance), but this behavior don't fit on my game purposes. Is there a way to measure the travelled distance of the ball?

Thanks.

System expressions

add variable StartX

........-II-..........StartY

On Touch start.. Set StartX to Ball.X

.............................Set StartY to Ball.Y

On Touch end...

..System compare two values: distance(StartX.StartY,Ball.X,Ball.Y)>some value...do something

Else...do something else..

..but

...I think the better solution would be to compare distance between Touch Start X,Y and Touch End X,Y....

Korbaach,

Thank you very much for this nice and good looking answer! I really appreciated! Will help me a lot!

I just don't get the [quote:21z4b7qh]..but

...I think the better solution would be to compare distance between Touch Start X,Y and Touch End X,Y....

Do they not refer to the same procedure? [quote:21z4b7qh]add variable StartX

........-II-..........StartY

On Touch start.. Set StartX to Ball.X

.............................Set StartY to Ball.Y

On Touch end...

..System compare two values: distance(StartX.StartY,Ball.X,Ball.Y)>some value...do something

Else...do something else..

I'm sorry, did i miss something?

Regards!

same...but instead of Ball, you compare touch X & Y

edit:

I set force to distance*2

so..if distance is 100 ;force=200..d=150;force=2*d...

..Of course you can set force whatever you want..this is just example..

Wow! You are awsome!

Thank you very much for your time and dedication! This is really very kind of you!

Best wishes!
