Huummmmmmmmm...

Is there a special reason why this code works for calculating the closest object to my but not recognizes the first one ?

I mean, closestSlotToMe is calculated allright, but when the closest one is the slotID 1, it doesnt work

The are 9 slots..

Code:

---

function getClosest_Slot()
{ 	
  	var i;
 	var idist;
 	
  	while ( i < 10)
  	{
		if(slotsHandle[i])
  		{ 	
  			you = ptr_for_handle(slotsHandle[i]);
  			
  			if(you)
  			{
  				if(vec_dist(my.x,you.x) < idist)
  				{ 
      			               closestSlotToMe = you;   		
  				}	
  				idist = vec_dist(my.x,you.x);	
  			} 						
  		}  		  		
  	i += 1;	  	
  }
  return (idist);
}

Hi,

the local var 'idist' gets not initialized. You should initialize it with a very high value prior to the while loop (eg var idist = 999999;).
Otherwise the condition of 'if(vec_dist(my.x,you.x) < idist)' can't be fulfilled at the beginning. I think that's the problem.

Hey Fenriswolf,

thanks for your reply, that´s exactly the problem i didnt figured out, it works now.
Cheers
