RFC: Vector library #34
Conversation
|
I think the min, max functions should accept multiple vectors as the current math.max and min allow multiple numbers, plus roblox's vector3s min and max methods also accept multiple vectors. There should also be abs and clamp functions, as those would be useful for vectors. Plus id assume it would be intended to keep the vector library in feature parity somewhat with the math lib. |

It's best to encourage practice of hitting the fastest constructor we have available.
It will also avoid confusion of what vector(1) is.
While Vector3.new(1) is [1, 0, 0] on Roblox, for people coming from GLSL where vec3(1) is [1, 1, 1], it might be unintuitive.
Even if supported by runtime, the typing can be more strictly defined.

| Returns the cross product of two vectors. If 4-wide vectors are enabled, this function will ignore the fourth component, and return the 3-dimensional cross product. | ||

dot product results in a number.

Would we include this in the Roblox engine? |
