Check distance

Hey, im working on a new game where u are in a space ship and need to destroy other ships. But i can't figure out how to check the distance between two sprites (I want the enemy shoot at the player if it's in range). How do i do that?

I hope someone can help me.

For each enemy

system compare two values: distance(player.x,player.y,enemy.x,enemy.y) < 100

• enemy shoot

For each enemy

system compare two values: distance(player.x,player.y,enemy.x,enemy.y) < 100

- enemy shootThanks, i will try.

[EDIT] Works! Thank you! I didn't know i had to use system!

this is a simple solution. thanks LittleStain

Just an extra to improve your coding...

Instead of 100 use a variable. In fact, I would use a Object Variable, that is, a variable in the enemy object, called "range" and compare distance to enemy.range, thus, you can even have different types of enemies with different ranges.
