[Solved] How To Calculate Total Distance Travel

[defskull]

The title says it all.
I know how to calculate Distance from Point A to Point B, how can I calculate the Total Distance Travelled (including that the unit travel from Point A to Point B and back to Point A).

Try using distance from point a to point of unit or using a real variable which increments by speed value.

Funny that you should ask that now. There is a thread in Triggers and scripts which covers exactly that. (the code in first post works)

If I do that, when I return back to Point A, the total distance travelled would be 0 (as in you calculated Displacement instead of Distance Travelled).

@themerion
As I've stated earlier, I want Distance Travelled, not Displacement.
In that thread, it uses Turn-based Movement System in which the unit will halt its movement when travel to a distance >= 600, if that unit make a turn and goes back to initial location, the distance still will be 0 and the unit won't stop its turn yet until it is fully traversed 600 range OR the user decides to end the turn prematurely (I don't know, it's his game, just making assumption).

Ah, no, your assumption is wrong.

He is not using original location except in the beginning of the trigger. He's checking with the location the unit had 0.1 seconds ago, and adding up the distance. His trigger checks distance travelled (if you scroll down, you see the setup triggers).

Ah, thank you themerion, it looks like the case is solved.
