I can't get scratch to return the subtraction of 2 x positions

if <[abs] of (x1)) - ([abs] of (x2)) > <[30]> then

end
Why is that subtraction not working?

Incomputable

Perhaps you need to add a forever?

Thanks!

It seams like the subtraction it's never happening because i tested with this thing https://imgur.com/a/uAvdN. And the variable it's not changing

May I ask what purpose this is for?

It's for a soccer game where the attacker has to decide whether he can pass between 2 defenders or not. So i need to check if the distance between the two defenders is bigger than the size of the attacker

It doesn't matter because we have put “absolute” for every x

There must be something else going on. I made a test project here. and it seems to work. Chances are it is never getting to that loop or something else is conflicting with it. The order of which block is inside which part makes a difference too though the screen shot it looks ok. Best to share projects when looking for help as often the problem is not what you thought and is some other thing.

Let say -10 and 10 positions its distance is 20
What happens if you use abs in both values?

Best if you don't create duplicate topics.
