Distance to problem?

Hi All,
I was wondering if someone maybe able to help with a very annoying coding problem i’ve got.

I need to find distance between player and 4 moving triggers in the same room.

How the map works is player needs to find location A then B in a room from location 1 after which they are moved to location 2 in the same room but they now have to find location C and D.

By moving to location 2 (and because I’m pants at programming) I’ve moved the triggers for location A and B below the ground so the player can’t mistakenly walk on them to activate them.

Now here’s the tricky bit if the player can’t find location A, B, C or D, I need the player to press a key from their current location in the room that will show their distance between them and the trigger.

I also need to be able to test this to ensure if I get some values I can run a calculation to ensure its accurate.

I’ve tried the “get distance to” function on keypress between each trigger location in a variable that’s sequentially updated when each trigger is moved into the desired location, but it’s not working and I can’t test the data I get back to check.

I’d really appreciate some help!

Distance to mechanism

Trigger movement and variable updating

More movement stuff but with a delay

You’re giving yourself an unnecessarily hard time by not destroying the used triggers.

When the player overlaps a trigger, the actor should destroy itself.

Then, all you ever have to do is find the distance to the next trigger.
