Why can't I use distance to function in if/else statement?

[leslie1165]

I'm working through "Virtual World Design and Creation for Teens" and have hit a snag. The book is telling me to create a collision detection function. I'm supposed to be able to use the "distance to" function of a character in an if/else statement, but I can't get the function to drag and drop into the right place. The first two proximity functions for the character will work, but none of the distance functions will.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you!

What you need is a world function that requires two variables. You need a function like a>b to drag those values in. Try dragging one of those (empty) into your if/else statement, then put in the necessary values and distance functions.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! That did it. (I wish that had been in the textbook instructions!)
