Previous location is indeed there. But since I'm working on a hex grid the distance calculation is not as simple as I would have liked.
Might ask for it as a feature. You are right, with the range calc it is all in there. So would just need some hooks into giving it the first location as the start of the range ruler and the second as the end. --- In [email protected], Jerry Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You will need something similar to the calc prop routine (contact Brent) > > Then calculate using maths.

I have also used calc prop in various modules including combat commander.
