code problems - working out distance

[Anonymous]

hi all, i am trying to do a code that basically works out the distance between 2 points and then divide it by 75 with no numbers after the decimal point. i have written the code below but it only works when i remove the "dist;\\" and replace it with a "\" (this means that the user will have to know the distance already which i dot really want). has anyone got anyideas how to fix it?

^C^C_setvar;USERR1;dist;\\_setvar;userr2;$m=$(rtos,$(/,$(getvar,userr1),75),2,0);-Array;\\R;$(getvar,userr2);\75\ Message was edited by: dam_g8
oops forgot to say that the values are then used to array an object

You need two macros, not one: first is the dist, second is the rest of
your original macro perhaps?

Hi,

try this:

^C^C_setvar;USERR1;'dist;\\;_setvar;userr2;$M=$(rtos,$(/,$(getvar,userr1),75),2,0);-Array;\\R;$(getvar,userr2);\75\

At least I got to the Array part... and userr2 was 1/75th of userr1, no decimals...

Note that the dist is now 'dist ie. transparent! Also you had a space in userr2 and the array part I suspect is still in development...?

Also I thought the $m should be $M
