Vector:DistToSqr
Description
Returns the squared distance of 2 vectors, this is faster than Vector:Distance as calculating the square root is an expensive process.
Arguments
Returns
Example
Checks if a player is within dist units of another player in the most efficient way possible.
function PlayerWithinBounds(ply,otherPly, dist)
return ply:GetPos():DistToSqr(otherPly:GetPos()) < (dist*dist)
-- This is computationally faster than:
-- ply:GetPos():Distance(otherPly:GetPos()) < dist
end
print(PlayerWithinBounds(Entity(1),Entity(2),500))
Output: true
