Thread: Object Distance checks

Good work glad I helped you out now I see that it works fine gj son

And what, exactly, is wrong with using a distance check for object actions (when you include the object's size)?

they use sizeX and sizeY and they are both different for some objects and if u use withinDistance ull be able to execute from farther away
and not where your player stops at. just doesn't work out

My question remains, maybe you misunderstood it:

because actions can start behind others like walls, and I just tested that with bank booths/trees and it's not right.
This way is simpler

And how would these lines of code prevent you from starting an action while there's e.g. a wall in between the player and the object?

It doesn't, this just doesn't stop when your within a distance that may be wrong and instead stops when your pathfinder reaches the object.

Ah, now I understand what you mean. Okay then.
