Description

Description:

Magnitude of a 3D vector.

2.14

Since 2.14 any count of numbers is valid.
Before 2.14, the argument had to be vector 3D, or 2.00 2D (With z coordinate defaulted to 0)

Groups:

Math - Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:

vectorMagnitude vector

Parameters:

vector: Array of Numbers

Return Value:

Number

Examples

Example 1:

_size = vectorMagnitude [0,3,4]; // returns 5

Example 2:

_speed = vectorMagnitude velocity player; // return velocity of player in m/s _speed = (vectorMagnitude velocity player) * 3.6; // return velocity of player in km/h _speed = (vectorMagnitude velocity player) * 2.23694; // return velocity of player in mph

1.22 Algorithm:

Vector = [x,y,z]; Result = sqrt ((x ^ 2) + (y ^ 2) + (z ^ 2));

It is recommended to use vectorMagnitude instead of BIS_fnc_magnitude.
