Description

Description:

Returns normalised vector (unit vector, vectorMagnitude == 1) of given vector. If given vector is 0 result is a 0 vector as well.

ⓘ

• 2.14 any count of numbers is valid
• 2.00 now supports Vector2D (z defaulted to 0)
• 1.26 command introduction, only works with Vector3D

1.26 Algorithm:

_vector = [x,y,z]; _result = [x / (sqrt (x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + z ^ 2)), y / (sqrt (x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + z ^ 2)), z / (sqrt (x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + z ^ 2))];

In mathematics, a unit vector in a normed vector space is a vector whose length is 1.
