Distance between units

[Homicide13]

how would i find the distance between two units and assign it to an int variable? (using triggers or JASS of course )

Wrong forum. Post it in the World Editor Help.

EDIT - Yes there is. Cre8 a trigger. Make a trigger

- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
- [Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of (Triggering unit)))))

Distance between two units can be stored in a real variable. Good luck finding it, considering you couldnt even find the proper forum which was right above this one.

The distence between 2 units is the same as the distance between 2 points.

To do that you need to run a mathematical formula to find the hypotnuse of the right angled triangle between the 2 points.

it is basicly the square root of the square of the distance between X1 X2 and the square of the distance between Y1 and Y2 added together.

SquareRoot((X1-X2)(X1-X2)+(Y1-Y2)(Y1-Y2))

You missed squaring it, super

SquareRoot(deltaX * deltaX + deltaY * deltaY )

And in GUI, it's as RedBlade said. However, you'll want to clean up the leaks, or you'll get slowness/delay issues after awhile.

Eg.

• Set loc = (Position of (Triggering Unit))
• -------- do something with loc --------
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

where loc is a global point variable

how do u make this images in the triggers appear ? is there a certain code to do so ?

Haha funny. Mini me is so cruel

Well, to actually answer the question he asked...

Action
- Set IntVar = (Integer((Distance between (Position of [Unit1]) and (Position of [Unit2]))))
