field.distance (procNode)

How far each element's position is from a target, as a Float field. It makes the target the wired b field or, when b is left unwired, the fixed point as a constant field (value.fallback, field.constant), then measures with field.vector_math in distance mode from a to that target. The result compiles to the device with the rest of the field chain.

Inputs

• a (Field<Vec3> | Vec3): the positions being measured, one per element.
• b (Field<Vec3> | Vec3): what each element is measured to, per element, so the target can move with the element. Wired, it stands in for point.
• point (Vec3, default { 0, 0, 0 }): one fixed position every element is measured to when b is unwired. It is how a radial falloff around a place is built.

Outputs

• field: the distance, a Float field.

Which graph calls it

This node is built with proc.graph and g:node, and a proc.graph graph calls it as g:node("<id>", "field.distance", ...). A graph built with proc.define calls g.field.distance in its place, the node written in the call form; g.op.field.distance there is refused, naming it.
