I was making a reporter that reports the distance between the distance from {object1xy} and {object2xy} but couldn't get object2's x/y position without making the positions their own variables.
I thought this would be a fun reporter to make, but couldn't get the x/y positions from the other sprite without giving it it's own variable
No. That's true about the sprite's local variables and methods, but the things that all sprites have are in the pulldown menu even when the second input is empty.
