Measuring distance

[jogit222]

Suggestion

Hello

When measuring distance between locations in different worlds Skript gives runtime errors, it would be nice for me and others if there would be a better way to let the server owner know that it isn't possible

I was thinking of maybe just ignoring the 'world' part of a location. Yaw and pitch can also be ignored since its not making a difference in distance if you are looking to the north or to the south. If such error did occur, only logging the first error and not every error would also be nice.

(I'm jocraft111 on discord)

Why?

I experienced it quite annoying getting runtime errors with the problem at the top but not being able to scroll to the top to see the error cause you are constantly being pushed down with the new errors.

The distance between two worlds is not possible to define. If you want just the pure distance between xyz coordinates, set the locations to the same world, or use vector from %location% to get the distances between the vectors instead.

Runtime errors already only print the first few they encounter each second and do not print the rest to avoid console spam. You can adjust this in config.sk to the desired amount.

if this were to be added, would the coordinate scale of the world (ex. 8 for nether) be considered in the calculation?

[jogit222]

I dont know how you would not do that since then you would have to choose one of the locations to take as a world.
Dividing the coordinate in your example in the nether by 8 might be an option, i dont know how hard that would be to do.
