This function returns the distance between two 2D points.

Syntax

GetDistance2D can take 2 different lists of parameters. These are:

float GetDistance2D( Vector2D v1, Vector2D v2 )

float GetDistance2D( float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2 )

Arguments

• v1, v2 - These are the two points as 2D vectors
• x1, y1, x2, y2 - These are the two points as floats

Example

This command tells the player how far another player is, ignoring the altitude.

 
function onPlayerCommand( plr, cmd, text )
{
     if ( cmd == "dist" )
     {
          if ( text )
          {
               local player = FindPlayer( text );
               
               if ( player )
               {
                    local v1 = plr.Pos, v2 = player.Pos;
                    MessagePlayer( format( "%s can be located %.2fm from your position.", player.Name, GetDistance2D( v1.x, v1.y, v2.x, v2.y ) ), plr );
               }
               
               else MessagePlayer( "Player '" + text + "' is not online!", plr );
          }
     }
     
     return 1;
}
