Title: It'd be nice if 'GetDistance' gave us the option to Use 'Vector3's
Post by: Scottyboombotz on December 14, 2012, 11:57:12 AM

Get distance is of course super useful, but I find I'm having to create empty objects and put them in locations just to measure distances. A large percentage of the time I'll have to Vector 3 world locations I want to measure between, or a GameObject and a Vector 3 location. Currently I have to create an empty game object and position it where to the Vector 3 location, measure, than destroy the empty game object. This is a really expensive way to do this, so if Get Distance would allow you to insert a vector 3 into one or both the slots it would save me a lot of cycles. Also if anyone knows a simple way to accomplish this currently I'd be willing to listen.

Thanks,

Scott

actually, this is already part of the "vector3 operator" action. Hard to find though, so it might be worth having a separate action.
