How to get the range between two different candles

[RlyNotUrBroker]

Hello,

I'm not too sure where to start with this script. I am trying to get the range between two different candles. Not necessarily the range between the high and low candles, but the range between whichever candles I decide to pick. I can just have it as a label. Really what I need to do is be able to pick the candles I want, so I know this is probably going to have to have some sort of editable time format. I'm very new at think script and don't really have a jumping off point. I don't neccessarily need the script written for me (although I'm not gonna stop you lol) but even just a start or getting pointed in the right direction would help!

Thanks

See if this example helps

def bn      = BarNumber();
def candle1 = HighestAll(if SecondsFromTime(0935) == 0 then bn else Double.NaN);
def candle2 = HighestAll(if SecondsFromTime(0937) == 0 then bn else Double.NaN);
def rangeh  = if bn == candle1 then high else if Between(bn, candle1, candle2) then rangeh[1] + high else rangeh[1];
def rangel  = if bn == candle1 then low else if Between(bn, candle1, candle2) then rangel[1] + low else rangel[1];
AddLabel(1, "R: " + AsText(rangeh - rangel), Color.WHITE);
