i have a problem with vec_dist i have an entity has to be removed when i get close to it but it just dissapear is that as soon as the level is open.
code

action item()
{
if (vec_dist(player.x, me.x) > 10 )
{
ent_remove(me);
wait(1);
}
}

no matter what number, it could be 10 or 100 or even a negative number but is always the same what's wrong with it?

you must set a "while(player == NULL) wait(1);" bevore your if because at the start all entities are at nullvector

hope this helps!

EDIT: you even have to put the if in a while(1) !

Alo you should say

action item()
{
if (vec_dist(player.x, me.x) < 10 )
{
ent_remove(me);
wait(1);
}
}

instead.
You where checking if the other objekt is further then 10 quands away. And not closer then 10

no still the same, if a replace the > for an < nothing happens
no matter how close or far i get form the item even if a change the 10 for a 1 or 100 is the same. maybe there's another problem? maybe a pointer? dunno
i'd need some example step by step. ive took this example from the aum 80 but it doesnt work for me

Your problem is, that you are checking just once if there are entities near you. A while loop will help:

action item() {
while(1) { //echecking each frame
if(vec_dist(player.x,my.x) < 10) { //The 10 might be too small!!
ent_remove(me);
}
wait(1);
}
}

Not it should work!

I think Rei_Ayanami answers your question completely.. before you implement a loop please check first if the player exists..



That should fix your problem...

Thanks^^

theres must be something missing in other part of the script because no matter of i get close or far the item just doesnt do anyhting

function main()
{
level_load("z.wmb");
}
action player_script()
{
while(1)
{
camera.x = my.x -150;
camera.y = my.y;
camera.z = my.z +35;
c_move(my, nullvector, vector(joy_force.y/0.5 , joy_force.x/-0.5 , -2), GLIDE);
wait(1);
}
}
action item()
{
while( player == NULL ) { wait(1); }
while(1)
{
if(vec_dist(player.x,me.x) < 50)
{
ent_remove(me);
}
wait(1);
}
}

Player = my;

Add that to your player script.

And you can only remove the item once, the "me" pointer becomes invalid. This means that your loop has to stop ->

action item()
{
while( player == NULL ) { wait(1); }
while(me) // <-------------------
{
if(vec_dist(player.x,me.x) < 50)
{
ent_remove(me);
}
wait(1);
}
}
