Title: get distance with axis ignore flags
Post by: jeanfabre on January 02, 2012, 03:25:03 AM

Hi,

 following Withthewicked request http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=974.msg4006#msg4006 (http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=974.msg4006#msg4006)

 Here is a more flexible version of GetDistance action that accepts flags to ignore x y or z axis ( workd coordinates reference).

 With these flags you can obtain the following information:

if x axis is ignored only: you get the distance on the world YZ plane

if Y and Z axis are ignored, you get the distance on the world x axis

 You can then deduce the different combinations of flags from this. warning, ignoring all axis obvioulsy will give you a distance of 0...

possible improvements: instead of using global axis, we could have this action using the ownergameObject for the axis reference thus giving us the ability to get for the example the "x" distance FROM the gameObject coordinates not from a world coordinate point of view.
