This function uses the Pythagorean Theorem for calculating distance on a 3D coordinate plane.

This function returns rather fast. You could write your own distance function using the theorem but it would require 6 calls to the GetPositionXYZ, each taking the same amount of time to return as one call to GetDistance. --Rasikko (talk) 2021-05-22T05:16:43 (EDT)
