_Distance()

[FuryCell]

Just a quick scrap that calculates the distance between two points. It can be used to calculate the distance between two elements on the screen. Using it is pretty self explanatory.

Func _Distance($iX1, $iY1, $iX2, $iY2)
    Return Sqrt(($iX1 - $iX2) ^ 2 + ($iY1 - $iY2) ^ 2)
EndFunc  ;==>_Distance

It's a good script. Simple but useful.

Nice!!

thanks all for the replies.

Hah, my math teacher(I'm only 15) told me about that this week. And now there is an au3 for it!

This is the easest idea ever i learned it in grade 3.

you learned about roots and powers in 3rd grade??

@SolidSnake..

Cool, now you should do one for 3D. lol

Func _Distance3($Vertex1, $Vertex2)
;Do your stuff here
$x1 = $Vertex1[0]
$y1 = $Vertex1[1]
$z1 = $Vertex1[2]

$x2 = $Vertex2[0]
$y2 = $Vertex2[1]
$z2 = $Vertex2[2]
EndFunc

What are those?

[Wus]

Its the same in 3d as in 2d..... just one more sqare under the root

Don't get me started on distance calculation, Z-mapping or anything else 3D related.

Whats Up with 3D victors anyways???

I dont even use them...

But the script would be helpful.

[dnsi]

And You could include Sine And Cosine to capculate the next cord

im only in grade 6.

Oh, So thats why you act so childish?

lmao.. who's victor? Edited November 4, 2006 by CHRIS95219

A Victor is a point in a rendered 3D world.

[Richard Robertson]

The word is vector. A vector is also a corner in a geometric shape.

Vectors consist of the standard X and Y, but also a Z coordinate as well. I wonder what good 3D calculations are in AutoIt though.

Trying to calculate the distance between two 3D points is a little more complicated.

It's called a vector , not victor.

Edit: too slow

Check out my 3D library. Link. I'm willing to create a _Distance3D function if anyone has a need for it.

as Wus already said, just add the 3rd dimension to the function and your done....
