| Vector::dot(Vector1,
Vector2) |
Vector1: Is a
Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."100 32 3"
Vector2: Is a Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."34 77 45"
USED IN: Item.cs
RETURN: Float. The dot product. If failed then 0. |
| Will perform
the dot product on the two vectors. |
| Vector::add(Vector1,
Vector2) |
Vector1: Is a
Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."100 32 3"
Vector2: Is a Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."34 77 45"
USED IN: Currently not used in any script files.
RETURN: Vector. Example: "134 169 48". If failed then "0 0 0". |
| Will add the
two vectors together. |
| Vector::sub(Vector1,
Vector2) |
Vector1: Is a
Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."100 32 3"
Vector2: Is a Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."34 77 45"
USED IN: Currently not used in any script files.
RETURN: Vector. Example: "66 -45 -42". If failed then "0 0 0". |
| Will subtract
the two vectors. |
Vector: Is a
Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."100 32 3"
USED IN: Currently not used in any script files.
RETURN: Vector. Example: "-56 -34 -23". If failed then "0 0 0" |
Will make the
Vector values all negative.
For example:
Vector = "56 34 23";
Answer = Vector::neg(Vector);
Answer is equal to "-56 -34 -23". |
| Vector::getFromRot(Rotation,
[Length, Zvalue]) |
Rotation: Rotation
of an object.
Length: Length of desired vector.
Zvalue: Will increase the vector in the Z direction.
USED IN: Ai.cs, Item.cs, Vehicle.cs
RETURN: Vector. Example: "394 44 43". If failed then "0 0 0". |
Is used to create
a vector in the direction of the rotation passed in. If no length
is passed then the vector will be the unit length. This is most commonly
used to get a vector in the direction an object is facing.
For example:
Rotation = GameBase::GetRotation(Player);
Length = 50; Zvalue = 60;
Vector = Vector::getFromRot(Rotation, Length, Zvalue);
Vector is equal to a vector facing in the direction the
player was at an upward angle. The upward angle is due
to the Zvalue passed in. Now you can us a function called
Player::applyImpulse(Player, Vector); This will force the
player forward at a force of Length and up in the air a force
of Zvalue . |
| Vector::getDistance(Vector1
or Pos, Vector2 or Pos) |
Vector1: Is a
Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."100 32 3"
Vector2: Is a Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."34 77 45"
Pos: Position. Is an X, Y, Z point. "28 25 99".
USED IN: Ai.cs, Objectives.cs
RETURN: Float. Distance. If failed then 0. |
| Is used to find
the distance between two vectors or points . |
| Vector::getRotation(NVector) |
NVector: Normalized
vector. Example: "1 0 -1"
USED IN: Item.cs
RETURN: Rotation in radians. Example: "-1.5 0 3.14". |
| Used to get
a rotation from a normalized vector . |
| Vector::normalize(Vector) |
Vector: Is a
Vector that has an X, Y and Z value."100 32 3"
USED IN: Staticshape.cs
RETURN: Vector. Normalized Vector. If failed then "0 0 0". |
| Will normalize
the vector passed in . |
Value is a non
negative number.
USED IN: Vehicle.cs
RETURN: Float. The square root of the input value. If failed then
-1. |
| Used to take
the square root of the value passed in . |
Value: Integer.
Power: Integer.
USED IN: Currently not used in any script files.
RETURN: Float. If failed then -1. |
| Will raise the
Value to the given Power. |
