Return distance covered by the viewpoint

Hi,

I am quite new to Vizard and thus far things have gone quite smoothly, but now I seem to be stuck at something which I couldn't find an answer to!

Is there a straight forward way of returning the distance a "player" has covered between two events/objects? Basically tracking how many meters were passed by the viewpoint? Something like:

start tracking
end tracking
return distance covered

I was searching quite a lot in the documentation/forum, but I am probably not using the proper keywords or terminology.

Thanks!

You can get the distance between any two points using the vizmat.Distance command. To calculate the total distance covered you could register a function with vizact.ontimer that calculates distance over small time intervals and add those up.
