GetDistance(tid)

[Cutmanmike]

Since you can do this in ACS anyway (with a bit more hassle) why not have this? A little low priority but there you go

Code: Select all

function int abs(int x)
{
  if (x>=0) return x;
  return -x;
}

function int min(int x, int y)
{
    if (x<y) return x;
    else return y;
}

function int AproxDistance(int dx, int dy)
{
	int dx = abs(dx);
	int dy = abs(dy);
	return dx+dy-(min(dx,dy)>>1);
}

function void GetDistance(int tid)
{
    int x=abs(GetActorX(tid)-GetActorX(activatortid()));
    int y=abs(GetActorY(tid)-GetActorY(activatortid()));
    int z=abs(GetActorZ(tid)-GetActorZ(activatortid()));

    return AproxDistance(AproxDistance(x,y), z);
}

It used the same precision Doom is using internally for distance calculations as a fixed point value.

What would it do? And don't you need two things to be able to tell the distance between them?

Look at my code. One is the activator, the other the specified tid.

Oh, I see. I never looked at it closely enough.
