Distance Check
« on: July 03, 2020, 09:33:26 AM »
Is it possible to check the distance between the player and an enemy?  I want the enemy to detonate himself when he is close enough to the player.

Yeah, that's possible.


In the character settings, set death to detonate. And then in the looping command prompt, put this:


Code: [Select]
if distance to character 1 < 50
kill enemy


Change "1" to the character ID for your main character.
Change "50" to your desired distance.


I just noticed that "if distance to" is not in the list of conditionals on the website. I'll fix that...
