 Here's the pseudo code

 -Create 3 vector3 objects
 -Set the first two to the global transforms of the first 2 scene objects
 -Set the third vector3 to the subtraction of the first 2 vector objects
 -Return the length of the third vector3 object

Hey all we are trying to figure out how to get an objects distance from the

I am not doing the coding but I thought I could help Dave find an answer
here.He is neck deep in another script an and  he was struggling fining it
