The distance formula is...

Distance=Sqrt((X1-X2)^2+(Y1-Y2)^2+(Z1-Z2)^2)

So the code you need would look something like...

Dist=Sqrt((Object Position X(1)-Object Position X(2))^2+Sqrt((Object Position Y(1)-Object Position Y(2))^2+Sqrt((Object Position Z(1)-Object Position Z(2))^2)

...Well... I hope I helped
