Hi, i thought this funtion might be useful to a few people. What it does is work out the distance between 2 3d objects. Those of you who are maths wizzes will notice that i am using Pythagorous.

+ Code Snippet

function object_distance(a,b)
hd#=sqrt((object position x(a)-object position x(b))^2+(object position z(a)-object position z(b))^2)
vd#=(object position y(a)-object position x(y))^2
d#=sqrt(hd#^2+vd#^2)
endfunction d#

a is object number a, b is object number b. return value is d# which is distance and is in world units.
