Description
-----------

Vector3 is one of the core classes of the engine, and includes several built-in helper functions to perform basic vector math operations.

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_Vector3_Vector3:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **Vector3** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` x, :ref:`float<class_float>` y, :ref:`float<class_float>` z **)**

Returns a Vector3 with the given components.

.. _class_Vector3_abs:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **abs** **(** **)**

Returns a new vector with all components in absolute values (i.e. positive).

.. _class_Vector3_angle_to:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **angle_to** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` to **)**

Returns the vector's minimum angle to the vector ``to``.

.. _class_Vector3_bounce:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **bounce** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` n **)**

Bounce returns the vector "bounced off" from the given plane, specified by its normal vector.

.. _class_Vector3_ceil:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **ceil** **(** **)**

Returns a new vector with all components rounded up.

.. _class_Vector3_cross:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **cross** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` b **)**

Returns the cross product with ``b``.

.. _class_Vector3_cubic_interpolate:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **cubic_interpolate** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` b, :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` pre_a, :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` post_b, :ref:`float<class_float>` t **)**

Performs a cubic interpolation between vectors ``pre_a``, ``a``, ``b``, ``post_b`` (``a`` is current), by the given amount (t). (t) should be a float of 0.0-1.0, a percentage of how far along the interpolation is.

.. _class_Vector3_distance_squared_to:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **distance_squared_to** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` b **)**

Returns the squared distance to ``b``. Prefer this function over distance_to if you need to sort vectors or need the squared distance for some formula.

.. _class_Vector3_distance_to:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **distance_to** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` b **)**

Returns the distance to b.

.. _class_Vector3_dot:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **dot** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` b **)**

Returns the dot product with b.

.. _class_Vector3_floor:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **floor** **(** **)**

Returns a new vector with all components rounded down.

.. _class_Vector3_inverse:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **inverse** **(** **)**

Returns the inverse of the vector. This is the same as Vector3( 1.0 / v.x, 1.0 / v.y, 1.0 / v.z )

.. _class_Vector3_is_normalized:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_normalized** **(** **)**

Returns whether the vector is normalized or not.

.. _class_Vector3_length:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **length** **(** **)**

Returns the length of the vector.

.. _class_Vector3_length_squared:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **length_squared** **(** **)**

Returns the length of the vector, squared. Prefer this function over "length" if you need to sort vectors or need the squared length for some formula.

.. _class_Vector3_linear_interpolate:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **linear_interpolate** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` b, :ref:`float<class_float>` t **)**

Linearly interpolates the vector to a given one (b), by the given amount (t). (t) should be a float of 0.0-1.0, a percentage of how far along the interpolation is.

.. _class_Vector3_max_axis:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **max_axis** **(** **)**

Returns AXIS_X, AXIS_Y or AXIS_Z depending on which axis is the largest.

.. _class_Vector3_min_axis:

Returns AXIS_X, AXIS_Y or AXIS_Z depending on which axis is the smallest.

.. _class_Vector3_normalized:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **normalized** **(** **)**

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **rotated** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` axis, :ref:`float<class_float>` phi **)**

Rotates the vector around some axis by phi radians. The axis must be a normalized vector.

.. _class_Vector3_slide:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **slide** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` n **)**

Slide returns the component of the vector along the given plane, specified by its normal vector.

.. _class_Vector3_snapped:
