Just to let you know, there's a distance function built into the Game_Map class, you can use it like this:
[code]$gameMap.distance(start.x, start.y, goalX, goalY);[/code]
Using this code is a really big shortcut, and avoids using nested forloops.
That function has this inside:
[code]return Math.abs(this.deltaX(x1, x2)) + Math.abs(this.deltaY(y1, y2));[/code]
You could follow the functions to try and learn. Tbh I've spent a lot of time searching and following references to functions to try to understand what's happening. The MV is barely commented, which makes things a bit harder and it's time consuming to sort of get the whole picture.
And one last thing (just to be super picky :P) is that you can place your if statement into the final forloop rather than setting var ev_event_true = true; and then cancel both loops (i think you can go return false for that). Cancel both loops because once we've found one match, that's all we need to turn the switch on.

Lol not the expert, just things I've expressly come across recently. In any case, it's just advice if you create more plugins: always try to see if you can borrow core functions rather than rewriting them. With something like this, there's bound to be a similar function and it's quite interesting to see how they do it. (to be fair I don't understand it :P).
