Vector4¶
Vector used for 4D math using floating point coordinates.
Description¶
4-element structure that can be used to represent any quadruplet of numeric values.
It uses floating-point coordinates. See Vector4i for its integer counterpart.
Note: In a boolean context, a Vector4 will evaluate to false if it's equal to Vector4(0, 0, 0, 0). Otherwise, a Vector4 will always evaluate to true.

Constructor Descriptions¶
Vector4 Vector4 ( )
Constructs a default-initialized Vector4 with all components set to 0.
Constructs a Vector4 as a copy of the given Vector4.
Constructs a new Vector4 from the given Vector4i.
Returns a Vector4 with the given components.
Method Descriptions¶
Vector4 abs ( ) const
Returns a new vector with all components in absolute values (i.e. positive).
Vector4 ceil ( ) const
Returns a new 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.
Performs a cubic interpolation 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.
Vector4 cubic_interpolate_in_time ( Vector4 b, Vector4 pre_a, Vector4 post_b, float weight, float b_t, float pre_a_t, float post_b_t ) const
Performs a cubic interpolation 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.
It can perform smoother interpolation than cubic_interpolate() by the time values.
Returns the normalized vector pointing from this vector to to. This is equivalent to using (b - a).normalized().
Returns the squared distance between this vector and to.
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.
Vector4 floor ( ) const
Returns a new vector with all components rounded down (towards negative infinity).
Vector4 inverse ( ) const
Returns the inverse of the vector. This is the same as Vector4(1.0 / v.x, 1.0 / v.y, 1.0 / v.z, 1.0 / v.w).
Returns true if this vector and with are approximately equal, by running @GlobalScope.is_equal_approx on each component.
bool is_normalized ( ) const
Returns true if the vector is normalized, i.e. its length is equal to 1.
bool is_zero_approx ( ) const
Returns true if this vector's values are approximately zero, by running @GlobalScope.is_zero_approx on each component.
This method is faster than using is_equal_approx with one value as a zero vector.
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.
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.
int max_axis_index ( ) const
Returns the axis of the vector's highest value. See AXIS_* constants. If all components are equal, this method returns AXIS_X.
int min_axis_index ( ) const
Returns the axis of the vector's lowest value. See AXIS_* constants. If all components are equal, this method returns AXIS_W.
Vector4 normalized ( ) const
Returns the vector scaled to unit length. Equivalent to v / v.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.
Vector4 round ( ) const
Returns a new vector with all components rounded to the nearest integer, with halfway cases rounded away from zero.
Vector4 sign ( ) const
Returns a new 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 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.
Operator Descriptions¶
Returns true if the vectors are not equal.
Note: Due to floating-point precision errors, consider using is_equal_approx instead, which is more reliable.
Vector4 operator * ( Projection right )
Inversely transforms (multiplies) the Vector4 by the given Projection matrix.
Multiplies each component of the Vector4 by the components of the given Vector4.
print(Vector4(10, 20, 30, 40) * Vector4(3, 4, 5, 6)) # Prints "(30, 80, 150, 240)"
Multiplies each component of the Vector4 by the given float.
print(Vector4(10, 20, 30, 40) * 2) # Prints "(20, 40, 60, 80)"
Multiplies each component of the Vector4 by the given int.
Adds each component of the Vector4 by the components of the given Vector4.
print(Vector4(10, 20, 30, 40) + Vector4(3, 4, 5, 6)) # Prints "(13, 24, 35, 46)"
Subtracts each component of the Vector4 by the components of the given Vector4.
print(Vector4(10, 20, 30, 40) - Vector4(3, 4, 5, 6)) # Prints "(7, 16, 25, 34)"
Divides each component of the Vector4 by the components of the given Vector4.
print(Vector4(10, 20, 30, 40) / Vector4(2, 5, 3, 4)) # Prints "(5, 4, 10, 10)"
Divides each component of the Vector4 by the given float.
print(Vector4(10, 20, 30, 40) / 2 # Prints "(5, 10, 15, 20)"
Divides each component of the Vector4 by the given int.
Compares two Vector4 vectors by first checking if the X value of the left vector is less than the X value of the right vector. If the X values are exactly equal, then it repeats this check with the Y values of the two vectors, Z values of the two vectors, and then with the W values. This operator is useful for sorting vectors.

Access vector components using their index. v[0] is equivalent to v.x, v[1] is equivalent to v.y, v[2] is equivalent to v.z, and v[3] is equivalent to v.w.
Vector4 operator unary+ ( )
Returns the same value as if the + was not there. Unary + does nothing, but sometimes it can make your code more readable.
Vector4 operator unary- ( )
Returns the negative value of the Vector4. This is the same as writing Vector4(-v.x, -v.y, -v.z, -v.w). This operation flips the direction of the vector while keeping the same magnitude. With floats, the number zero can be either positive or negative.
