how i get distance from x and y individual between two objects?

guilleface

hi, i know how to use magnitude,but i need this time x and y in a separated rule. thanks

morphinegamingmachine

you mean u need to know the distance away from each other, not the y distance, and then the x distance??

example
actor a is at point x=10 y= 24
actor b is at point x=7 y=28

they r 3 away in the x, and 4 away in the y. which means the distanced between them it 5

pathogorean thrym for the hypotenuse
a^2+b^2=c^2
so diagonal distance= square root of (difference in x ^2 + difference in y^2)

i think you can do magnitude(self.position.x,object.x)

subtracting the objects x from the players x might also work too

Ignore morphinegamingmachine and JohnPapiomitis with all their clever maths . . .

Just hold a ruler up against the screen and measure the distances, you can write the number on the back of your hand to save paper.

Glad I could help.
