Description

This class represent a 4D vector (x, y, z, w). This class provides access to RLPy's internal 4D vector math library allowing 4D vectors to be handled easily, and in a manner compatible with internal RLPy data structures. It also supports operators and provides some convenient constants:

Constant Description
RVector4.ZERO 4D zero vector: (0, 0, 0, 0)
RVector4.UNIT_X 4D x unit vector: (1, 0, 0, 0)
RVector4.UNIT_Y 4D y unit vector: (0, 1, 0, 0)
RVector4.UNIT_Z 4D z unit vector: (0, 0, 1, 0)
RVector4.UNIT_W 4D w unit vector: (0, 0, 0, 1)
RVector4.UNIT_XYZW 4D vector: (1, 1, 1, 1)

Constructor & Destructor

__init__ ( )

Initialize a new 4D vector object that is zeroed out: (0, 0, 0, 0).

1 a = RLPy.RVector4()

__init__ ( a, b, c, d )

Initialize a new 4D vector object as a 4D vector: (x, y, z, w).

Parameters

a [IN] A numerical value for x coordinate - float or int
b [IN] A numerical value for y coordinate - float or int
c [IN] A numerical value for z coordinate - float or int
d [IN] A numerical value for w coordinate - float or int
1 a = RLPy.RVector4(1, 2, 3, 4)

__init__ ( *args )

Initialize a new 4D vector object with another 4D vector object: args. This new 4D vector object has the same value as *args.

Parameters

args [IN] a 4D vector object - RVector4
1 a = RLPy.RVector4(1, 2, 3, 4)
2 b = RLPy.RVector4(a)

Operators

=

The "equal to" operator.

1 a = RLPy.RVector4(1, 2, 3, 4)
2 b = a
3 
4 print(a == b) #True

!=

The "not equal to" operator.

See Also: ==

1 a = RLPy.RVector4()
2 b = RLPy.RVector4(1, 2, 3, 4)
3 
4 print(a != b) # True

<

The "less than" operator. Similar to string comparison: Returns True upon the first match that is less than, and False if it is greater than. If the current comparison is equal, continue onto the next element. If all elements are equal then return False.

See Also: <=

 1 a = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 2)
 2 b = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 3)
 3 c = RLPy.RVector4(1, 0, 1, 0)
 4 d = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 2)
 5 
 6 print(a < b)        # True
 7 print(b < c)        # True
 8     print('b < c')
 9 if a < d:           # False
10     print('a < d')

>

The "greater than" operator. Similar to string comparison: Returns True upon the first match that is greater than, and False if it is less than. If the current comparison is equal, continue onto the next element. If all elements are equal then return False.

See Also: >=

 1 a = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 2)
 2 b = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 3)
 3 c = RLPy.RVector4(1, 0, 1, 0)
 4 d = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 2)
 5 
 6 if b >a:        # True
 7 print('b >a')
 8 if c >b:        # True
 9 print('c >b')
10 if a >d:        # True
11 print('a >d')

<=

The "less than or equal" operator. Similar to string comparison: Returns True upon the first match that is less than, and False if it is greater than. If the current comparison is equal, continue onto the next element. If all elements are equal then return True.

See Also: <

 1 a = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 2)
 2 b = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 3)
 3 c = RLPy.RVector4(1, 0, 1, 0)
 4 d = RLPy.RVector4(0, 1, 5, 2)
 5 
 6 if a<= b:       # True
 7 print('a<= b')
 8 if b<= c:       # True
 9 print('b<= c')
10 if a<= d:       # True
11 print('a<= d')

>=

The "greater than or equal" operator. Similar to string comparison: Returns True upon the first match that is greater than, and False if it is less than. If the current comparison is equal, continue onto the next element. If all elements are equal then return True.
