Check space between sprites?

[Captain Spazer]

I'm trying to figure out how to do a calculation that checks if player0x = player1x at like, 20 and then continues checking for as long player0x is at 20 or closer to player1x, any ideas?

 

Something like:

 if player0x = player1x && player0x >=20

 

[+Random Terrain]

This is the first thing that pops into my head:

 

   If player0x > player1x then temp5 = player0x - player1x : goto __Skip_20_Check
   temp5 = player1x - player0x
__Skip_20_Check

   If temp5 < 21 then DO SOMETHING

Thanks!

I find it helps to verbally think out the problems.

"If the player0x is greater than 20 then I need to start checking if player0x is equal to player1x"

Leads to a super simple solution:

if player0x >= 20 then if player0x = player1x then 

it wont run the "then if", unless player0x >= 20

did I understand your problem correctly?

Simple and elegant! Thank you. Yes, I think you understood it correctly 😃
