vector

Purpose

Create a variable of the vector type

Description

Initialises a variable of the vector type. Can be used to initialise an array or within a structure definition. The vector can have up to 4 dimensions (x, y, z and w / r, g, b and a)

Syntax

struct name
  vector field1
  ...
  typen fieldn 
endStruct

Arguments

name name of the structure

field1 name of the first field

fieldn name of the last field

typen type of the last field

Example

struct shape
    string name
    int sides
    int size
    vector pos
    int col
endStruct

shape shapes[3]
shapes[0] = [ .name = "triangle", .sides=3, .size=150, .pos = { 400, 150 }, .col = red ]
shapes[1] = [ .name = "square",   .sides=4, .size=150, .pos = { 400, 500 }, .col = yellow ]
shapes[2] = [ .name = "pentagon", .sides=5, .size=150, .pos = { 800, 150 }, .col = blue ]
shapes[3] = [ .name = "hexagon",  .sides=6, .size=150, .pos = { 800, 500 }, .col = green ]
