Description

Description:

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

Groups:

Math - Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:

vectorNormalized vector

Parameters:

vector: Array - vector 3D or 2D (since Arma 3 v2.00, z coordinate is defaulted to 0)

Return Value:

Array

Examples

Example 1:

vectorNormalized [12345,7890,38383]; // [0.300481,0.192045,0.934254] vectorMagnitude [0.300481,0.192045,0.934254]; // 1

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.
