Arcade Expression for Distance Calculation

[HarishKV]

i have two layers one is High Tide Line and another one is Land Parcel. Land parcel is a polygon feature class and High tide line is a line feature class. I want to add the straight line distance at nearest vertex of the High Tide line layer to the centroid of the land parcel layer feature i am creating. I had written a Arcade Script and its not working for me. Can anyone help?. Thanks in Advance.

var landParcelLayer = FeatureSetByName($map, "Land Parcel"); // Replace with the actual name of your Land Parcel layer

var highTideLayer = FeatureSetByName($map, "High Tide Line HTL"); // Replace with the actual name of your High Tide Line layer

var attributeName = 'Dist_HTL'; // Replace with the desired attribute name

var editingFeature = $feature;

var landParcelGeometry = Geometry(editingFeature);

var closestDistance = 999999999; // Set a large initial value

for (var vertex in highTideLayer) {

    var vertexGeometry = Geometry(vertex);

    var distance = Distance(vertexGeometry, Centroid(landParcelGeometry));

    if (distance < closestDistance) {

        closestDistance = distance;

    }

}

if (closestDistance < 999999999) {

    editingFeature[attributeName] = closestDistance;

    return editingFeature;

} else {

    return 'No Nearby High Tide Line Features';

}

Are you trying to calculate the value for the field 'Dist_HTL'? If so, is it a numeric field or text field?

Hi Ken,

Thanks for connecting. I had revised script and solved the issue. Modified Script as follows : 

var htl_lyr = FeatureSetByName($map, 'High Tide Line');

var editingFeature = $feature;

var editingGeometry = Centroid(editingFeature);

var closestDistance = 999999999; // Set a large initial value

for (var htl_feature in htl_lyr) {

    var dist = Distance(htl_feature, editingFeature, 'meter');

    if (dist < closestDistance) {

        closestDistance = dist;

    }

}

var roundedDistance = Round(closestDistance, 2); // Round to 2 decimal places

roundedDistance; // This will return the rounded closest distance in meters
