Problem is, once again, I don't know something needed to make it happen. Any math wiz out there care to tell me: How to Test the Distance between the Player Character and the Active Object Nearest to him ? Edited by the Author.

If left decreases the x position, and right increases it that should work. That only works in one direction. Use the Clickteam Movement Controller, it can do all the hard work for you with its 'General expressions > Distance between two objects' Just loop through the objects and find the closest one.

Joe has the right answer. "Isn't it always amazing how we characterize a person's intelligence by how closely their thinking matches ours?" ~Belgarath

MBK Registered 07/06/2007 Points 1578	28th May, 2008 at 00:31:42 - Thank you guys. I'll have to test the methods and see if they work for what I need. Btw, whoever said that I need it for shooting ? I simply need it to determine which object within a grouping of objects is to be acted upon by the group code. I have a theory that this is a way to keep the TGF1 grouping system from glitching up when used with certain other code. If you think you have a better method based upon what I have just said, then please add it here I'm hoping for a solution customised to the situation. Thank you guys though. Matt and Joe, I really do appreciate the help. Especially you Joe, cause the Math formula is what I'm looking for. Here's my code. http://www.mediafire.com/?mmhtxinkmgn If you would be kind enough to form an exact solution, you'd make me and whoever else that happens upon this problem, very happy.
