---

• Vector3 Vector3 ( float x, float y, float z )

Returns a Vector3 with the given components.

---

• Vector3 abs ( )

Returns a new vector with all components in absolute values (i.e. positive).

---

• float angle_to ( Vector3 to )

Returns the minimum angle to the given vector.

---

• Vector3 bounce ( Vector3 n )

Returns the vector “bounced off” from a plane defined by the given normal.

---

• Vector3 ceil ( )

Returns a new vector with all components rounded up.

---

---

• Vector3 cubic_interpolate ( Vector3 b, Vector3 pre_a, Vector3 post_b, float t )

Performs a cubic interpolation between vectors pre_a, a, b, post_b (a is current), by the given amount t. t is in the range of 0.0 - 1.0, representing the amount of interpolation.

---

• Vector3 direction_to ( Vector3 b )

Returns the normalized vector pointing from this vector to b.

• float dot ( Vector3 b )

Returns the dot product with b.

---

• Vector3 floor ( )

Returns a new vector with all components rounded down.

---

• bool is_equal_approx ( Vector3 v )

Returns true if this vector and v are approximately equal, by running @GDScript.is_equal_approx on each component.

---

• bool is_normalized ( )

Returns true if the vector is normalized.

---

• float length ( )

Returns the vector’s length.
