Get information from object

Post #1by Imy » 12.01.2007, 09:38

Hello,

:o When you select a object, some relative information appears on the right top corner ; For instance, the distance between the selected object and its sun like the real time distance which separate Jupiter planet from the Sun.

:?: Can we have the real time distance between two planets, two objects you have chosen?

Thanks.

That's already possible if you
goto one of the objects
and then
select the other one

There are Lua scripts available which show other sets of information. In principle, it should be possible for one of those scripts to do exactly what you describe.

Hopefully someone else can point you toward a script that's appropriate.
