Question by 09millarda · Oct 08, 2012 at 06:47 PM · javascriptdooropenmeter

A question on distance

I want to write a script saying,

eg. if player is one meter or less from the door, player can open it.

But, how do you do this? I know unity measures by default in meters but would write this in a script? Is it just literally:

(I know this is not javascript. It is an example...)

if(object "1 METER >); player can open door... Please help.

look in the documentation for words like "distance"

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.Distance.html

have you ever used Unity? in the INSPECTOR, click on any of the small "book" icons.

that will open the DOCU$$anonymous$$ENTATION.

click SCRIPTING.

there is a search field. type in "distance"

You can also do a Google search anytime that you're stuck on a problem. Really; whatever you're doing, one hundred people have probably done it, gotten stuck and asked a question about it.

Which makes things really easy when you want to avoid common mistakes the first time.
