Available on all platforms

Vector4 is a vector suitable for three-dimensional math, containing (x, y, z, w) components

Static variables

staticread onlyX_AXIS:Vector4

A constant representing the x axis (1, 0, 0)

staticread onlyY_AXIS:Vector4

A constant representing the y axis (0, 1, 0)

staticread onlyZ_AXIS:Vector4

A constant representing the z axis (0, 0, 1)

Static methods

staticinlineangleBetween(a:Vector4, b:Vector4):Float

Calculates the angle between two Vector4 coordinates

Parameters:

a

A Vector4 instance

b

A second Vector4 instance

Returns:

The calculated angle

staticinlinedistance(pt1:Vector4, pt2:Vector4):Float

Calculates the distance between two vectors

Parameters:

pt1

A Vector4 instance

pt2

A second Vector4 instance

Returns:

The distance between each vector

staticinlinedistanceSquared(pt1:Vector4, pt2:Vector4):Float

Calculates the squared distance between two vectors, (avoids the use of Math.sqrt for faster performance)

Parameters:

pt1

A Vector4 instance

pt2

A second Vector4 instance

Returns:

The square of the distance between each vector

Constructor
