Breadboard normalize function for vectors

[astral tide]

Aka shorthand for

(A / A.magnitude)

with a sanity check for if A has no magnitude. Would save me a lot of effort when I need to get the normalized direction of something, which would be

(A-B) / (A-B).magnitude

[lavish tide]

I agree with this
I have wanted this many times

[dawn nymph]

v.direction

I'd prefer if it was v.dir, and .magnitude was shortened to .mag

v.dir,v.mag

if v.mag = 0, output (0,0,0)

[lavish tide]

... Wait, is it already a thing?

[jagged hearth]

no I think he's suggesting a name for it

[dawn nymph]

just a name suggestion

[lavish tide]

Oh, thank you!

Yeah!

v.direction or v.normalize would both work

normalize is what it's called in Lua iirc

[dawn nymph]

I'd want this more than anything. I dont use magnitude because a.magnitude is really long

a^1 is so short and nice and simple

[sweet wagon]

damn, they instantly added it 💀 .normalized

[jagged hearth]

very nice

praise ze devs ^^

[hazy wasp]

normalize() is the function that modifies the Vector3 in-place, normalized is the property that returns a new, normalized copy

anyway good addition

Amazing
