Vector arifmetic

[Lotzyprod]

Suggestion

Please, allow to use vector arifmetic with not only %vector% ** %vector% but %vector% ** %number% or %number% ** %vector%

It exists in examples, but not implement in source code.

Why?

because it will not allow me to write something like this:

set {_sin} to sin(180)
set {_vec} to vector(1,1,1)
set {_sin} to vector({_sin},{_sin},{_sin})
set {_vec} to {_vec} ** {_sin}
set {_vec2} to (1,1,1)
set {_vec} to {_vec} ++ {_vec2}

or

set {_sin} to sin(180)
set {_vec} to vector(1,1,1)
set {_vec} to vector((x of {_vec})*{_sin},(y of {_vec})*{_sin},(z of {_vec})*{_sin}) #more brackets for decrease parse time!!!!

I don't think this should be added, personally. Vector arithmetic should stay as vector-vector, instead of adding scalars and adding confusion. The examples should be changed to reflect this, rather than the other way around.
If you want to scale a vector you can simply use the existing vector length expression:

set {_v} to vector(1,1,1)
set vector length of {_v} to (vector length of {_v}) * sin(180) + 1

Lets invert vector with same method.

Skript/src/main/java/ch/njol/skript/expressions/ExprVectorLength.java

Line 84 in d093208

if (n < 0)

For first: vector.normalize().multiply() not faster than vector.multiply()
For second: specific of code of skript doesnt allow us to multiply vector length with values less than zero
