Description

Description:
Returns Euclidean distance between two points.
Groups:
Math - Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:
point1 vectorDistance point2
Parameters:
point1: Array in format [x,y,z] or Position3D or Position2D (since Arma 3 v2.00, z coordinate is defaulted to 0)
point2: Array in format [x,y,z] or Position3D or Position2D (since Arma 3 v2.00, z coordinate is defaulted to 0)
Return Value:
Number

Examples

Example 1:
_euclideanDist = getPosASL player vectorDistance [0,0,0];
Example 2:
(getPosASL _a) vectorDistance (getPosASL _b); // same as (getPosATL _a) distance (getPosATL _b);
