Finding Magnitudes of 2 different vectors

Hey Team!
vector3.magnitude is used to find magnitude of vector from origin. But in my case, I need to find the magnitude between 2 vectors.

Should I separate them to their components and then apply math functions to calculate or do we have a special function to do it.

I am fairly new to Unity, thanks for understanding!​

Thanks!

 

It has no matter with unity, basic geometry. You want (To - From).magnitude

 

Thanks for replying, but Vector3.magnitude doesn't give output when provided with 2 vectors. Or did I understood it in a wrong way?

 

You have to subtract the 2 vectors, which results in a new vector, and you get the magnitude of the new vector.

Code (csharp):

1. float distBetweenAB = (b - a).magnitude;

Exactly the code palex-nx showed.

There is also Vector3.Distance:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Distance.html

Code (csharp):

1. float distBetweenAB = Vector3.Distance(a, b);

Though really it just effectively does the same thing underneath (just vector component wise).

That worked out, thanks a lot!
