returns the pixel distance between two points based upon either two vector points or 2 sets of X-Y input points.

point_distance(p1, p2) //Vector
point_distance(x1, y1, x2, y2) //X-Y

Returns: double

This function will return the distance from the first point to the second point coordinates. It is useful for programming AI as well as enabling effects or spring traps.

var GroundDistance = point_distance(Position, new Vector2(Position.x,room_height-64));

Above code will set var GroundDistance to the current distance of the player to the ground by vector.

var GroundDistance = point_distance(x,y,x,room_height-64);

Above code will set var GroundDistance to the current distance of the player to the ground by X-Y positions.
