Description

Description:
Returns Euclidean distance between two 3D vectors or two 3D positions.
Groups:
Math - Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:
vector1 vectorDistance vector2
Parameters:
vector1: Array in format [x,y,z] or Position3D or 2D (since Arma 3 v1.99.146539, z coordinate is defaulted to 0)
vector2: Array in format [x,y,z] or Position3D or 2D (since Arma 3 v1.99.146539, z coordinate is defaulted to 0)
Return Value:
Number

Examples

Example 1:
_euclideanDist = getPosASL player vectorDistance [0,0,0];
Example 2:

(ArmA3 1.22) Algorithm: Vector1 = [x1,y1,z1]; Vector2 = [x2,y2,z2]; Result = sqrt ((x2 - x1) ^ 2 + (y2 - y1) ^ 2 + (z2 - z1) ^ 2);
