Portal aware distance between actor and arbitrary point?

[MartinHowe]

All the distance functions seem to be based on the distance between two actors, usually where one is "self". It seems a bit silly to have to create a dummy actor (e.g., a mapspot) at a point, and then remove it, just to check the distance between that point and another actor. I can use the usual high school math equation, but that isn't portal aware.

Is there a portal-aware way to get the distance between an actor and an arbitrary point?

There's portal-aware vector difference and offsetting functions in LevelLocals: Vec2Diff, Vec3Diff, Vec2Offset and Vec3Offset. (The top of the page explains how to use LevelLocals if you don't already know how to)

Thanks very much

In case it helps anyone else:

Code: Select all

    Vector2 tv = (target.Pos.x, target.Pos.y);
    Vector2 pv = (newPos.x, newPos.y);
    let dist = Level.Vec2Diff(tv, pv).Length();
