Hi all.
This script returns the direct number of squares between obj1 and obj2.
Code: Select all
function getDistance(obj1,obj2)
local distance = 0
local XNumber = math.max(obj1.x,obj2.x) - math.min(obj1.x,obj2.x)
local YNumber = math.max(obj1.y,obj2.y) - math.min(obj1.y,obj2.y)
distance = XNumber + YNumber
return distance
end
enjoy

that's a nice one, I like it! the closest thing to this in the original game was the dragon statues lining up thing, and I loved that one too. You could give clues to the player, compass headings, relative distance, etc

Should it go to the useful scripts then ?

XNumber and YNumber should be local, otherwise they will be unnecessarily saved with save games.
