Posted December 29, 20177 yr I'm wondering if there is anyway to get the reach distance from the player to the entity for diagonals? Because I'm bad at Maths. Please help me Edited December 29, 20177 yr by lethinh
December 30, 20177 yr why are you using 1.8? thats not supported anymore, use 1.12.2 if you really want 1.8 use the newest 1.8.9 and look up Pythagorean theorem Edited December 30, 20177 yr by tebreca

December 30, 20177 yr It looks like you want the shortest distance between the player, and this entity, yes? Call Entity::getDistanceToEntity, to find the distance between two entities.

Please help me STATEMENTS | REASONS 1. Distance from player to entity is diagonal | 1. Diagonal is a line segment that extends from one angle of the | quadrilateral to its opposite angle | | How do you want the distance demonstrated by diagonal? Are the entities on opposite angles of a quadrilateral? Please clarify. And P.S. don't use 1.8, update to 1.10.2 + please, believe me, it's way more worth it.

It's a formula, you plug numbers in and get numbers out. There's nothing to manipulate. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.
