Vector2¶
Vector used for 2D math using floating point coordinates.
Description¶
2-element structure that can be used to represent positions in 2D space or any other pair of numeric values.
It uses floating-point coordinates. See Vector2i for its integer counterpart.
Note: In a boolean context, a Vector2 will evaluate to false if it's equal to Vector2(0, 0). Otherwise, a Vector2 will always evaluate to true.

Constants¶
AXIS_X = 0 --- Enumerated value for the X axis.
AXIS_Y = 1 --- Enumerated value for the Y axis.
ZERO = Vector2(0, 0) --- Zero vector, a vector with all components set to
0.ONE = Vector2(1, 1) --- One vector, a vector with all components set to
1.INF = Vector2(inf, inf) --- Infinity vector, a vector with all components set to @GDScript.INF.
LEFT = Vector2(-1, 0) --- Left unit vector. Represents the direction of left.
RIGHT = Vector2(1, 0) --- Right unit vector. Represents the direction of right.
UP = Vector2(0, -1) --- Up unit vector. Y is down in 2D, so this vector points -Y.
DOWN = Vector2(0, 1) --- Down unit vector. Y is down in 2D, so this vector points +Y.

Method Descriptions¶
Vector2 Vector2 ( ) constructor
Constructs a default-initialized Vector2 with all components set to 0.
Constructs a Vector2 as a copy of the given Vector2.
Constructs a new Vector2 from Vector2i.
Constructs a new Vector2 from the given x and y.
Vector2 abs ( ) const
Returns a new vector with all components in absolute values (i.e. positive).
float angle ( ) const
Returns this vector's angle with respect to the positive X axis, or (1, 0) vector, in radians.
For example, Vector2.RIGHT.angle() will return zero, Vector2.DOWN.angle() will return PI / 2 (a quarter turn, or 90 degrees), and Vector2(1, -1).angle() will return -PI / 4 (a negative eighth turn, or -45 degrees).
Illustration of the returned angle.
Equivalent to the result of @GlobalScope.atan2 when called with the vector's y and x as parameters: atan2(y, x).
Returns the angle to the given vector, in radians.
Illustration of the returned angle.
Returns the angle between the line connecting the two points and the X axis, in radians.
Illustration of the returned angle.
float aspect ( ) const
Returns the aspect ratio of this vector, the ratio of x to y.
Returns the vector "bounced off" from a plane defined by the given normal.
Vector2 ceil ( ) const
Returns the vector with all components rounded up (towards positive infinity).
Returns a new vector with all components clamped between the components of min and max, by running @GlobalScope.clamp on each component.
Returns the cross product of this vector and with.
Cubically interpolates between this vector and b using pre_a and post_b as handles, and returns the result at position weight. weight is on the range of 0.0 to 1.0, representing the amount of interpolation.
Returns the normalized vector pointing from this vector to b. This is equivalent to using (b - a).normalized().
Returns the squared distance between this vector and b.
This method runs faster than distance_to, so prefer it if you need to compare vectors or need the squared distance for some formula.
Returns the distance between this vector and to.
Returns the dot product of this vector and with. This can be used to compare the angle between two vectors. For example, this can be used to determine whether an enemy is facing the player.
The dot product will be 0 for a straight angle (90 degrees), greater than 0 for angles narrower than 90 degrees and lower than 0 for angles wider than 90 degrees.
When using unit (normalized) vectors, the result will always be between -1.0 (180 degree angle) when the vectors are facing opposite directions, and 1.0 (0 degree angle) when the vectors are aligned.
Note: a.dot(b) is equivalent to b.dot(a).
Vector2 floor ( ) const
Returns the vector with all components rounded down (towards negative infinity).
Creates a unit Vector2 rotated to the given angle in radians. This is equivalent to doing Vector2(cos(angle), sin(angle)) or Vector2.RIGHT.rotated(angle).
print(Vector2.from_angle(0)) # Prints (1, 0).
print(Vector2(1, 0).angle()) # Prints 0, which is the angle used above.
print(Vector2.from_angle(PI / 2)) # Prints (0, 1).
Returns true if this vector and v are approximately equal, by running @GlobalScope.is_equal_approx on each component.
bool is_normalized ( ) const
Returns true if the vector is normalized, false otherwise.
float length ( ) const
Returns the length (magnitude) of this vector.
float length_squared ( ) const
Returns the squared length (squared magnitude) of this vector.
This method runs faster than length, so prefer it if you need to compare vectors or need the squared distance for some formula.
Returns the result of the linear interpolation between this vector and to by amount weight. weight is on the range of 0.0 to 1.0, representing the amount of interpolation.
Returns the vector with a maximum length by limiting its length to length.
Moves the vector toward to by the fixed delta amount.
Vector2 normalized ( ) const
Returns the vector scaled to unit length. Equivalent to v / v.length().
bool operator != ( ) operator
Vector2 operator * ( Transform2D right ) operator
bool operator == ( ) operator
Vector2 operator unary+ ( ) operator
Vector2 operator unary- ( ) operator
Vector2 orthogonal ( ) const
Returns a perpendicular vector rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise compared to the original, with the same length.
Returns a vector composed of the @GlobalScope.fposmod of this vector's components and mod.
Returns a vector composed of the @GlobalScope.fposmod of this vector's components and modv's components.
Returns the vector projected onto the vector b.
Returns the vector reflected from a plane defined by the given normal.
Returns the vector rotated by phi radians. See also @GlobalScope.deg2rad.
Vector2 round ( ) const
Returns the vector with all components rounded to the nearest integer, with halfway cases rounded away from zero.
Vector2 sign ( ) const
Returns the vector with each component set to one or negative one, depending on the signs of the components, or zero if the component is zero, by calling @GlobalScope.sign on each component.
Returns the result of spherical linear interpolation between this vector and to, by amount weight. weight is on the range of 0.0 to 1.0, representing the amount of interpolation.
Note: Both vectors must be normalized.
Returns this vector slid along a plane defined by the given normal.
Returns this vector with each component snapped to the nearest multiple of step. This can also be used to round to an arbitrary number of decimals.
