How can I find the Distance between Two Objects on the X Axis?

Question

Hi, I am trying to find a way to find the distance between to points ONLY ON THE X AXIS. By this I mean say my transform.position.x was 5 and my player.transform.position.x was 10, I would receive a result of five. If anybody knows how to do this it would be much appreciated if you could let me know how.

Many Thanks,

Tommy Eaves

 float dist = object1.transform.position.x - object2.transform.position.x;

Hi. you actually need to use Mathf.Abs, this way it always gives a positive value:

 float dist = Mathf.Abs(object1.transform.position.x - object2.transform.position.x);

Distance from one point to another : point2 - point1. Then just get the x property
