Here is a function I use. you can put at the top



example to use it:

getdistance(2);

this will return the distance between the default camera and object number 2.

havnt tested it.

You should be able to work that out from the code snippet you just got here..

store the distance and check if its within your "desired range" is all.. unless I'm missing what you are looking for....

If it's a function you use how come you haven't tested it yet?

lol... yeah... what I mean is... I usually get the distance between two objects getdistance(object 1, object 2); I just put dbCameraPosition in the snippet instead of dbObjectPosition, so i did not test it like that.

Ondrej you can say something like:

if (getdistance(enemy) < 200)
{
enemyShootsPlayer();
}

Do function which count distance between 2 object isn't problem, but I'm missing function which detect object, the crosshair is showing on object

like that:

int object = getObject(dbScreenWidth()/2, dbScreenHeight()/2);
