vehicleidThe ID of the vehicle to calculate the distance for.
Float:xThe X map coordinate.
Float:yThe Y map coordinate.
Float:zThe Z map coordinate.

Returns​

A float containing the distance from the point specified in the coordinates.

Examples​

/* when the player types 'vendingmachine' in to the chat box, they'll see this.*/
public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
    if (strcmp(text, "vendingmachine", true) == 0)
    {
        new
            string[64],
            vehicleid = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
        
        new
            Float:distance = GetVehicleDistanceFromPoint(vehicleid, 237.9, 115.6, 1010.2);

        format(string, sizeof(string), "You're %.2f away from our vending machine.", distance);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xA9C4E4FF, string);
    }
    return 0;
