Ah ha! Know how to cut out most of the dist calls. A lite weight short circuited axis check. If the magnitude is greater than the AGGRO dist on any one axis, theres no point in calling the dist function....
if ( (abs ( x1 - x2 ) > AGGRODISTANCE ) || ( abs ( y1 - y2) > AGGRODISTANCE ) || ( abs (z1 - z2) > AGGRODISTANCE )
Advance();
else
continue....
if one x is 100, and the other is 0, there is no way the distance is going to be less than the dist formula calculated dist, so theres no point in calling that function...
Nice thing about shortcircuited || operations is they will only evaluate until they find a true case, so if delta X > AD, it will drop out, and not perform the other 2 calculations and comparison...
