## Signature

```c
float VDIST(float x1, float y1, float z1, float x2, float y2, float z2);
```

## Parameters

- `x1` (`float`)
- `y1` (`float`)
- `z1` (`float`)
- `x2` (`float`)
- `y2` (`float`)
- `z2` (`float`)

## Returns

`float`

## Description

Calculates distance between vectors.
The value returned will be in meters.

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = Vdist(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0x2A488C176D52CCA5, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, Citizen.ResultAsFloat())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = Vdist(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0x2A488C176D52CCA5', x1 + 0.0000001, y1 + 0.0000001, z1 + 0.0000001, x2 + 0.0000001, y2 + 0.0000001, z2 + 0.0000001, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsFloat());
```

### C#

```csharp
float retval = Function.Call<float>((Hash)0x2A488C176D52CCA5, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2);
```

- Float parameters: Lua integers (`10`, or whole numbers decoded from NUI/JSON) are sent as ints and read as garbage. Write `10.0` or `value + 0.0`. The generated JS wrappers add `0.0000001` to non-zero floats for the same reason.
