[SOLVED] What is the .Scale function of dVectors

[Auradrummer]

Hy guys, I'm not understanding a basic math function, the 'Scale'.

Code: Select all

m_localFrame.m_up.Scale (tire.m_posit)


I thought that the 'Scale' function was a kind of multiplication, but I'm not understanding what is the proposite of doing this.

I'll keep my studies here...

Thanks

Understood.

The .Scale is to multiply every elements of a vector by a float. Easy,

I made a basic evaluation mistake. I put in my head that the 'm_posit' variable was a dVector, while it is a float. Now everything is clear.
I'll let it here for someone else wants to understand such things.

Only a suggestion: the manager of the forum could create a section only to mathematics. I thing would be useful for the guys that wants to extract more from the engine and are Math newbies like me. What do you think?
