Finding the distance between 2 objects

Questions & Answers

I am trying to find the distance between 2 objects. One is 20 units wide, and the other is only 1 unit wide.

Here is a picture

I already have a script that calculates the “distance” between the 2 blocks, but it shows the distance from the middle of the first block to the 2nd. I only want the distance of the empty space between them.

Here’s the distance script of what I have so far

#pragma strict

var f1 : GameObject;
var f2 : GameObject;



function Start () {

	var distance : float =  Vector3.Distance (f1.transform.position, f2.transform.position);
	
	Debug.Log(distance);

}

function Update () {

}

So what can I do about this?

Also if you have any questions PLEASE ask.
Thank you

How about:

Debug.Log(distance - f1.renderer.bounds.extents.magnitude - f2.renderer.bounds.extents.magnitude);
