Make distance to target available as variable Cyborg
Difficulty Not Set by Matt
Description What I'd like to enchance this effect is the ability to have the distance of a player from an actor expressed as a varibale, so I could modify my code something like:

palfrom 64/pdist 64 0 0

to give a red colour relative to the players distance with the operator ( / )added in as this would give an intensity from 0 - 64 dependant on distance from the light

sizeat pdist/128 pdist/128

to size my corona depending on how close the player is. I'm not sure what type of formula I might want to use but being able to use operators would be invaluble.

I'd be able to perfect the corona effect with just two lines of code rather than being forced to use 1000's with the current code (because at the moment I only check for one intensity radius, for smooth changes I need to add a lot of code for each radius range).
Matt's Comments just set DIST variable based on existing calculations (I think)
