Finding the distance between two points [SOLVED]
Gamefandan:
Alright, let's speak hypothetically here.
Let's say that I want to take my current position and the position of another person and then find the distance between us. I am aware of the formula to find the distance between two points, however I would like to know how I would go about doing it in Blockland. The reason for my wanting to know this shall remain unknown to anyone but myself for the time being.
I greatly appreciate all, if any, help.
Nexus:
vectordist("x y z", "x y z");
Also
msqrt(mpow(x, 2) + mpow(y, 2) + mpow(z, 2));

Yeah that basically solved all my problems, thanks.
Gamefandan:
Ah, yes.
%bot.pathtime[%ArgB] = vectordist(%bot.pathpoint[%m],%bot.gettransform())/%bot.MaxForwardSpeed;
This will be perfect.
phflack:
seeing how long a bot will take to scurry somewhere? i wonder what that could be used for
