vectorDistance

Description

Returns Euclidean distance between two points.

Syntax

point1 vectorDistance point2

Parameters:

• point1: Position3D or Position2D - (since Arma 3 v2.00, z coordinate is defaulted to 0)
• point2: Position3D or Position2D - (since Arma 3 v2.00, z coordinate is defaulted to 0)

Returns: Number

Examples

Example 1

_euclideanDist = getPosASL player vectorDistance [0,0,0];

Example 2

(getPosASL _a) vectorDistance (getPosASL _b);
// same as
(getPosATL _a) distance (getPosATL _b);

Vector1 = [x1,y1,z1];
Vector2 = [x2,y2,z2];
Result = sqrt ((x2 - x1) ^ 2 + (y2 - y1) ^ 2 + (z2 - z1) ^ 2);
