I want to have a COG that will detect when two actors are within a certain radius of each other. How would I go about this?

Who would be detecting if two actors are within a certain radius of each other? Is it a level cog? Or would a cog that detects the distance between you and a victim be enough?

It's gonna be something like this, probably:

Code:

if(VectorDist(GetThingPos(actor1), GetThingPos(actor2)) < distance)
{
   do_whatever;
}
Return;

Distance can be any numerical value you want it to be(JKU's).
