How to turn a distance between two points into a percentage?

[drk]

I want to turn this distance between two points:

function drawDistance ( ) 
    local x, y, sx, sy 
    loadHunterPosition ( ) 
    local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition ( getLocalPlayer( ) ) -- Get player position 
    local distFromVehicleToHunter = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( playerX, playerY, playerZ, hunterX, hunterY, hunterZ ) -- Calculate distance 
    x, y = AbsoluteToRelativ(1920-721, 1080-55) 
    sx, sy = AbsoluteToRelativ( 1920-515,1080-36 ) 
    dxDrawText ("   Distance:",x, y, sx, sy,tocolor(192,255,62,255),0.6,"bankgothic","left","top",false,false,false) -- Create DX Text 
    x, y = AbsoluteToRelativ(1920-699, 1080-31) 
    sx, sy = AbsoluteToRelativ( 265, 30 ) 
    dxDrawImage( x, y, sx, sy,"images/DistToHunter-Logo.png",0.0,0.0,0.0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),false) 
    x, y = AbsoluteToRelativ(1920-494, 1080-54) 
    sx, sy = AbsoluteToRelativ( 1920-366,800-10 ) 
    dxDrawText( string.format("%.0f",distFromVehicleToHunter).."m",x, y, sx, sy,tocolor(255,255,255,255),0.6,"bankgothic","left","top",false,false,false) 
end 

into a percentage. It can be done? If it can be done anyone can help me how to do

I don't understand how you would turn a distance into a percentage as what would 0% be?

I know it can be done, but it's gonna take some math logic and some more scripting, srry i'm not good with percentage or math

\õ/ I want to made a script that appear on the local player screen with percentage of distance missing to reach hunter. Understand?

Im not good with percentage or math too

distance=pos2-pos1 --use getDistanceBetweenPoints if 2/3D needed 
currentDistance=pos2-yourPos --use getDistanceBetweenPoints if 2/3D needed 
precents=math.min(math.max(math.abs(currentDistance/distance*100),0),100) 

seriously, you should figure this easy thing on yourself

Thanks karlis .......

To turn a distance between two points you can take help and advices from an expert who can give you advices about it. I am sure that, an expert has a vast knowledge about it, So, i think taking help from an expert is the best option for you.

the easiest way is to just:

local hunterDistance = currentDistanceToHunter/maxDistanceToHunter

where currentDistanceToHunter is current distance between player and hunter pickup, and

maxDistanceToHunter is distance between player spawn position and hunter pickup.
