Okay I'm trying to make a script with the plrdistfurther command where it plays Piano music as long as the player is further than say 5 squares, but when the player comes closer to the piano, it stops playing.

I've looked it up with a search and tried finding tutorials and manuals on this but I can't figure out how far a dang unit is! xD can someone tell me how many units 1 editor square is equal to?

Slightly off topic but . . .

If one wants to use plrdistwithin the distance is kind of limited. 40/45 are good close distances. 50 works with I'd say 100% of the entities. For a lot of the entities, 35 does not work. 30 doesn't work with the majority of entities.

I think (yeah, I know that's dangerous) that the distance is measured from the center of the entity. Therefore, the bigger the entity, the higher the "distwithin" must be. If an entity is 50x50, it would be impossible to get within 40 because you would push the entity around before you got within the distance.

At least that's the way it seems to work.
