GetVehicleDistanceFromPoint
Description:
Function GetVehicleDistanceFromPoint used to calculate the distance (as a float) between a vehicle and another map coordinate. This can be useful to detect how far a vehicle away is from a location.
| Function GetVehicleDistanceFromPoint was added in 0.3c R3 and will not work in earlier versions! |
Parameters:
(vehicleid, Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z)
| int | vehicleid | The ID of the vehicle to calculate the distance for. |
| float | X | The X map coordinate. |
| float | Y | The Y map coordinate. |
| float | Z | The Z map coordinate. |
Return Values:
A float containing the distance from the point specified in the coordinates.
Examples:
/* when the player types 'vendingmachine' in to the chat box, they'll see this.*/
public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
if(strcmp(text, "vendingmachine", true) == 0)
{
new
Float: fDistance = GetVehicleDistanceFromPoint(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid), 237.9, 115.6, 1010.2),
szMessage[44];
format(szMessage, sizeof(szMessage), "You're %f away from our vending machine.", fDistance);
SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xA9C4E4FF, szMessage);
}
