Distance to (x) (y)
Agreed, the workaround is too long and this could be way easier for New Scratchers. This could also be useful for adventure games, to show how much pixels there is left to reach the destination.

Distance to (x) (y)
Here's a simple workaround:
set [y change v] to ([abs v] of ((y position)-(desired y::grey)))It uses the good ol' y=mx+b, but because the y-intercept isn't important, we just find the slope.
set [x change v] to ([abs v] of((x position)-(desired x::grey)))
set [distance v] to ((x change)/(y change))
SupportPlease say why. This is the discussion forums, not a ballot box.

True. Just a sec.snipyou forgot to add abs, it can't be a negative number

Oh good it's just a simple Pythagorean theorem. “A^2 + B^2 = C^2” and all that… Well mostly. Still doable

Workaroundable but support because it makes things easier

yeah, that one is just the distance formula from math which is just sqrt((a1 - a2)^2 + (b1-b2)^2). This comes from the pythagorean theorem.

Bringing this topic up. You could use the distance formula though.
Also, there could be as well:
Also, there could be as well:
distance between x: () y: () and x: () y: () ::sensing reporterYou would be able to replicate this by putting x position and y position as one of the inputs.
