First, let me just mention that there is no good reason at all to use
ScriptEd for writing programs. BricxCC seems to be a far better choice in
that regard since it supports both NQC and MindScript (and LASM as well).
What do you mean by distance, exactly. You can certainly tell what zone the
controller is in (here, there, anywhere, or nowhere).
Below is a MindScript program which writes the range of each controller it
finds to variables 1-7. If it finds any controllers in the here, there, or
anywhere zone it also makes a heartbeat sound. I don't think you can use
NQC to do this yet.
Look at the Count*.h files that come with the Spybot software for examples
(which is where I got the information I needed to write this simple program).
program TestRCX2 {
#include "Spybot.h"
sub ControllerRangeAndDirection
{
local nIndex
local nRange = cNowhere
local n = cNoID+1
// reset variables 1-7 to cNowhere and zero variables 8-14
while n < cPCID
{
n^ = cNowhere
n += 7
n^= 0
n -= 6
}
find world[nIndex,iRange] > cNowhere
{
n = world[nIndex,iShortID]
if n > cNoID
{
if n < cPCID
{
// nIndex is a controller
// write range to global variable numbered by controller ID
n^ = world[nIndex,iRange]
n += 7
n^ = world[nIndex,iDirection]
tone 36 for 5 wait 10 tone 36 for 5
}
}
}
}
main {
ControllerRangeAndDirection
}
}
I've tested this via BricxCC and the Watch window. As expected, my
controller showed up in the here, there, anywhere, and nowhere ranges
depending on where I positioned it. The direction also worked exactly as
anticipated (and documented in spybot.h).
Hope this helps.
