Name	Type	Access	Description
Values	list[Real]	R	Gets vector values as a list of 4 reals.
W	Real	RW	Gets or sets the w-component (fourth element) of vector.
X	Real	RW	Gets or sets the x-component (first element) of vector.
Y	Real	RW	Gets or sets the y-component (second element) of vector.
Z	Real	RW	Gets or sets the z-component (third element) of vector.

Methods

Learn how to use methods here. The methods are also inherited from the parent class.

Name	Return Type	Parameters	Description
angle	Real	vcVector vector	Returns the angle between vector and a given vector, in radians. See more Parameters: vector (vcVector): a vector to calculate the angle to Returns: Real: angle between the vectors
angleDeg	Real	vcVector vector	Returns the angle between vector and a given vector, in degrees. See more Parameters: vector (vcVector): a vector to calculate the angle to Returns: Real: angle between the vectors
cross	vcVector	vcVector vector	Returns the cross product of this vector with another vector. See more Parameters: vector (vcVector): The other vector. Returns: vcVector: Cross product of vectors.
dot	Real	vcVector vector	Returns the dot product of this vector with another vector. See more Parameters: vector (vcVector): The other vector. Returns: Real: Dot product of vectors.
getQuaternionAngle	vcVector	vcVector vector	Returns the angle between vector and a given vector, as a quaternion. See more Parameters: vector (vcVector): a vector to calculate the angle to Returns: vcVector: a quaternion representing the angle between vectors
length	Real	None	Returns the magnitude (length) of vector. Returns: Real: magnitude (length) of vector.
new	vcVector	None	Creates a new vector with values initialized to (0, 0, 0, 1). Returns: vcVector: Created vector.
new	vcVector	Real x, Real y, Real z	Creates a new vector with given values, initializing W-component to 1. See more Parameters: x (Real): X-component of the vector. y (Real): Y-component of the vector. z (Real): Z-component of the vector. Returns: vcVector: Created vector.
new	vcVector	Real x, Real y, Real z, Real w	Creates a new vector with given values. See more Parameters: x (Real): X-component of the vector. y (Real): Y-component of the vector. z (Real): Z-component of the vector. w (Real): W-component of the vector. Returns: vcVector: Created vector.
new	vcVector	vcVector vec	Creates a copy of the given vector. See more Parameters: copy (vcVector): The vector to create copy from. Returns: vcVector: Created vector.
normalize	None	None	Normalizes vector.
square	Real	None	Returns the square of vector. Returns: Real: square of vector.
toString	String	Optional Keyword[includeW = Boolean], Optional Keyword[precision = Integer], Optional Keyword[includeZeros = Boolean]	Returns string representation of matrix. See more Parameters: format (vcMatrixFormat): The representation format. precision (Integer): Precision of real values. includeZeros (Boolean): Include zeros up to the defined precision limit. (P=45.000000 vs P=45).
