Distance between objects

[artificial_brain]

Hello,

I am totally newbie in a field of coding GTA mods, scripts, etc. so I am sorry if I am writing about any kind of a known problem.

 

I would like to measure distance between objects - particulary between a car the player is driving and the first object on the map in front of the car to collide with the car. Something like a laser measure in real life.

 

I will be grateful for any answer - tips, where to read, what to use, what to learn in order to complete described task. Maybe some of you already have solved such a problem.

 

Thanks in advance,
