'Distance to x:(), y:()' block

There is a distance to block in scratch 1.4, but I can't find it in scratch 2.0. Where did it go?

It's in Sensing for a sprite. Fourth block down.
(distance to [ v])
Create a second sprite to measure distance between.

And here is the Wiki entry with the workaround to the block suggested in this thread.

Non-math version:

when I receive [get distance v] //in a hidden sprite
go to x: (xpos) y: (ypos)

when gf clicked//in the sprite sensing the distance
. . .
set [xpos v] to (wanted x)
set [ypos v] to (wanted y)
broadcast [get distance v] and wait
say (distance to [Sprite1 v]) //the hidden sprite

i have grown as a person. and ive grown, literally. none of my posts from before 2022 represent me accurately.
