Vdist2 (SYSTEM) — FiveM Native Reference

local retval = Vdist2(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)

Description

Introduced in build 323

Calculates distance between vectors but does not perform Sqrt operations. Its way faster than INLINE_0, but it's not faster than direct mathematical calculations.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`x1`	`float`	X coordinate of the first point.
`y1`	`float`	Y coordinate of the first point.
`z1`	`float`	Z coordinate of the first point. Represents the height or elevation at the first point.
`x2`	`float`	X coordinate of the second point.
`y2`	`float`	Y coordinate of the second point.
`z2`	`float`	Z coordinate of the second point. Represents the height or elevation at the second point.

Quick Snippet: Get Coordinates

x1y1z1x2

Add this command to your client script to retrieve precise locations in-game.

-- Add this to your client.lua. Type /pos in-game to copy coords.
RegisterCommand('pos', function()
    local ped = PlayerPedId()
    local coords = GetEntityCoords(ped)
    local heading = GetEntityHeading(ped)
    local output = string.format("vector4(%.2f, %.2f, %.2f, %.2f)", coords.x, coords.y, coords.z, heading)

    print(output)
    TriggerEvent('chat:addMessage', { args = { '^4[COORD]^0', output } })
end)

Returns

float

Returns a floating-point number.
