Hi..

I have two separate characters.
And I want to know where each other are located from each other.
They are not parent and child relation.

But I could not find funtion for finding relative position.

thanks

Each node has a world position that you can get by calling getAbsolutePosition(). This can be used to compare absolute positions of nodes. You can use a nodes absolute transform to rotate the world space vector between the two nodes so you have the vector in node space.

Check with this you can get the distance btwn the 2 player
player1->getPosition().getDistanceFrom(player2->getPosition());

That only works if the two players are children of the same parent node. As I said, you need to use getAbsolutePosition().
