Figuring out p2 distances and using accurate values

[supermystery]

This something i use in debug mode to judge how far an opponent is, its also very useful for when your doing the AI too. Put the coding under statedef -2.

Code: [Select]

[State -2, DTC]
type = DisplayToClipboard
trigger1 = 1
text = "P2BodyDist X = %d, P2BodyDist Y = %d, Frontedgedist = %d, Backedgedist = %d"
params = Floor(P2BodyDist X), Floor(P2BodyDist Y), frontedgedist, backedgedist
IgnoreHitPause = 1

You should be able to see more information when you use debug mode (Ctrl + D).

Heres an example of what it looks like:

Thank you for the code. now i can code my ai better.

Sorry I'm late with a reply, but this code helped me out immensely, thank you supermystery

This code is good and very used..but doesn't works well on simul modes. Plus, P2BodyDist gives the distance of P2 FRONT CLSN position, not his X axis position. P2DistX give you p2 X axis position though.

For simul modes, you should use EnemyNear:

[State -2, Debug Info]
type = DisplayToClipboard
trigger1 = roundstate > 0
text = "P2 Distance X: %f, P2 Distance Y: %f"
params = (Pos X-(enemyNear, Pos X)), (Pos y-(enemyNear, Pos y))

It will return a negative value, because you're on a negative position from p2.
