Description
- Description:
-
Returns a distance in meters between Objects, Positions or Locations.
- Groups:
- Math - Geometry
Syntax
- Syntax:
- param1 distance param2
- Parameters:
- param1: Object or Array in format PositionAGL or Position2D
- param2: Object or Array in format PositionAGL or Position2D
- Return Value:
- Number - Distance in meters or 1e10 if distance cannot be calculated
Alternative Syntax
- Syntax:
- location1 distance location2
- Parameters:
- location1: Location or Array in format Position or Position2D
- location2: Location or Array in format Position or Position2D
- Return Value:
- Number - Distance in meters or 1e10 if distance cannot be calculated
Examples
- Example 1:
_meters = player distance _object;
- Example 2:
_meters = player distance [1,2,3];
- Example 3:
_meters = [1,2,3] distance [4,5,6];
- Example 4:
_meters = position player distance nearestLocation [position player, "hill"];

- Sudden Death
- Distance to position3D (array) does not work with Operation Flashpoint, only objects Armed Assault: position3D (array) and object works
- Posted on Mar 10, 2010 - 12:00
- Rommel
- This returns the map distance, not the vector distance, [0,0,0] distance [0,0,1] can be >1 or <1, not exactly 1; unlike the vector math.

- Igneous01
- If a position in format [x, y, z] is provided for both arguments, distance also checks the z dimension as well. Ie: player distance [0,0,200] will return 200, if the player is at this position at ground/sea level.
- Posted on March 22, 2014
- AgentRev
- When objects are supplied as arguments, distance is calculated from their model center (object modelToWorld [0,0,0]), and not the position returned by getPos/ATL/ASL.
However, this is not relevant for units, as their model center matches their world position.
