Does anyone know how I would find the distance between two points.Let's say that one point is p1 = Vector(12, 34, 90);
And the other point is p2 = Vector(46, 766, 90);
How would I find the distance between p1 & p2?
Thanks in advance,
~Shawn

This was eventually a question that I'd have known the answer for

Well, that happens when you move away to turkey Jack. There´s a delay now as I am still nearer to the us now.

Actually if you are using the length for an often called comparision routine, it might be wiser to avoid len or any sqrt related routine. They are relatively slow.

how would you do it without using those functions?

Well, just use the squared distances.
The squared distance ist (x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2+(z1-z2)^2.
Instead of applying root to get length, you square the distance which you use for comparision.

That's what I do when it is simply a distance comparison. Sqrt() is expensive!
