    Math question about coordinates.

    Hi,

    I need some help from someone who is a lil good with math.. (as i am not..)

    I need to calculate 3 things, distance between 2 coordinates, which coordinates are x meters forward, and the YAW to look at some coordinate.

    Distance i know is (z1 - z2)^2 + (x1 - x2)^2.

    Altho im not sure how to do this in C++.
    The other 2 make me clueless as i never had math in school before i dropped out (bad me i know).

    Can someone help me with this?

    format is X Y Z YAW, where Y is height and YAW is looking direction.

    Regards,
    Shini
