Estimating the Pythagorean Theorem

Bugs

So an {x, y} object is not a vector by default? Probably that’s why some vector functions do not work with them?

I was trying to get the distance between a shells impact point and the catapult in Summit’s Gate, with varying results:

loop:
    shell = self.findNearest(self.findEnemyMissiles())
    catapult = self.findNearest(self.findByType("catapult"))
    if shell and catapult:
        self.say(shell +" "+ shell.targetPos.distance(catapult.pos))

This gives a certain value in the first few seconds, then it gives an error: “Cannot read property ‘distance’ of undefined”

I tried to make the first object a vector:

        self.say(shell +" "+ Vector(shell.targetPos).distance(catapult.pos))

This gives sometimes a NaN result, but if it “catches” a spear, I get a value.

I’m probably confusing things, but the situation is far from clear…
