Class Vector3

Version added: before 9.5
The Vector3 class is used to represent a 3D vector or point.

If necessary, instances of this class can be created by:

- Local variable:
local vec3 = LM.Vector3:new_local()

- Global (see Script Structure about conventions for naming globals):
XX_vec3 = LM.Vector3:new()

Methods of Vector3:

Name Returns Description Ver
Cross Cross(vec2) Vector3 Computes the cross product of this vector and a second one < 9.5
Dot Dot(vec2) real Computes the dot product of this vector and a second one < 9.5
GetOrthogonals GetOrthogonals(vecU, vecV) void Returns two vectors that are orthogonal to the original vector < 9.5
Mag Mag() real Computes the magnitude of a vector < 9.5
Norm Norm() Vector3 Returns a normalized copy of the vector < 9.5
NormMe NormMe() void Normalizes a vector < 9.5
operator ‑ operator - (vec2) Vector3 Subtracts one vector from another and returns the result as a new vector < 9.5
operator * operator * (f) Vector3 Multiplies a vector by a number, returning the result as a new vector < 9.5
operator + operator + (vec2) Vector3 Adds two vectors and returns the result as a new vector < 9.5
operator / operator / (f) Vector3 Divides a vector by a number, returning the result as a new vector < 9.5
Rotate Rotate(axis, angle) void Rotates the vector around the specified axis by the specified angle < 9.5
Set Set(vx, vy, vz) void Assign new X, Y and Y coordinate values to the Vector3 < 9.5
Set Set(vec2) void Copy the coordinates from another Vector3 object < 9.5
SquaredMag SquaredMag() real Computes the squared magnitude of a vector < 9.5

Properties of Vector3:

Name Type Description Ver
x real The X (or horizontal) coordinate of the vector. < 9.5
y real The Y (or vertical) coordinate of the vector. < 9.5
z real The Z (or depth) coordinate of the vector. < 9.5
