{{Template:FunctionInfo|fName= getDistanceVec|fDescription= Calculates the 2D distance between two vectors, handling both vec2 and vec3 inputs by extracting x and z or y coordinates appropriately, then uses GetDistance2D to compute the distance in meters.|parentFile= cmm.positionFunctions.lua|syntax= CMM.getDistanceVec(vec1 <TBL>, vec2 <TBL>)|return= number|returnDesc= Distance in meters between the two points, calculated using 2D Euclidean distance on x and y coordinates.|example= CMM.getDistanceVec({x=1, y=2, z=3}, {x=4, y=5, z=6})|exampleDesc= Computes the distance between two 3D points with coordinates (1,2,3) and (4,5,6), returning the 2D distance using x and z as the respective axes.|related= |note= --TODO Retire this command as CMM.Distance does the same thing|envType= CMM|par1= table vec1|reqType1= table|reqName1= vec1|desc1= A vector table representing a point in 3D space, with fields x and optionally z or y; if z exists, it is treated as the y-coordinate for distance calculation.|par2= table vec2|reqType2= table|reqName2= vec2|desc2= A vector table representing a point in 3D space, with fields x and optionally z or y; if z exists, it is treated as the y-coordinate for distance calculation.}}
