I think this is the last problem I will run through in this development stage of the RTS. Well, I need the SIMPLEST FORMULA EVAR, so please NO SQRTS!!!

object 1 X posistion + object 2 X Position divide by 2, do the dame thing with the Y coords, then add the result together, instant distance.

Shab's formula works. But there's a problem - More than one unit of the same type. They all shoot or no one shoots. Someone can solve this one?
P.S. No values available!

That doesn't work, if you were to draw the range of how far a unit could see and they had a set distance you would get a diamond shape around the object. What's wrong with an expression involving a square root anyway? This example shows how to do range detection for many objects (picks closest of other objects): http://nimble.icetec.net/?page=6&listid=4 , it uses a proper distance formula though.

No, thx, I prefer the way I know it works. And I have something to do with Sqrts in range detection formulas : I had to download Advanced Math, other dozens of extensions and examples, and it didn't work.
Can someone solve my problem about everyone shooting or no one shooting???

Yes RPG pyr2003 - It's because you told them all to shoot, i know that doesn't help much but you're going to need some alt values or maybe a flag or two. To turn on, then when the flag is on - shoot.
