I need to find the distance between a sprite and a coordinate, can someone help me?

Use the distance formula:
sqrt((x1 - x2)^2 - (y1 - y2)^2)
And convert it into scratchblocks.
(x1, y1) is the coordinate of the first point, while (x2, y2) is the coordinate of the second point.

Thank you!

what does ^ mean?

Exponents (repeated multiplication)

okay

^ means power of, which is the number of times something mutliplies itself by.

So the script medians posted would look like this:

([sqrt v] of ((((x1) - (x2)) * ((x1) - (x2))) + (((y1) - (y2)) * ((y1) - (y2)))))

when they get too far away, it returns with NaN, what do i do?

Oh sorry it should be + not - LOL, and it might be reaching negative square roots because of that
