Problem Description
Unless the distance expression shouldn't give back the distance between two points, I think this expressions result ist wrong.
round(distance(Pos1.X, Pos2.X, Pos1.Y,Pos2.Y))[/code:1y391j78] [u]compared to[/u] [code:1y391j78]round(sqrt(abs(Pos1.X - Pos2.X)^2 + abs(Pos1.Y - Pos2.Y)^2))[/code:1y391j78] This - IMHO correct way to calculate the distance - gives a very different result using the distance expression.

Not a bug.
The correct way to use the distance function is:
distance(Pos1.X, Pos1.Y, Pos2.X, Pos2.Y)[/code:1czenn2n] Notice the x,y pairs are next to each other. It's exactly the same as: [code:1czenn2n]sqrt((Pos2.X - Pos1.X)^2 + (Pos2.Y - Pos1.Y)^2)[/code:1czenn2n] or [code:1czenn2n]sqrt((Pos1.X - Pos2.X)^2 + (Pos1.Y - Pos2.Y)^2)[/code:1czenn2n] The abs() isn't needed since any number squared is always positive.
Ahh, my bad, sorry, sorry, sorry -> ashamed in the leftmost corner.... (the eyes, old eyes, small screen, high resolution )
Thanks R0J0hound. I'll try to delete or let this thread delete.
