Description

Returns a 3-dimensional vector that is defined by the specified polar angle and length values.

FUNCTION Ang2Vec(
         angleR   :REAL;
         Length   :REAL) : VECTOR;

def vs.Ang2Vec(angleR, Length):
    return VECTOR

Parameters

angleR		REAL		The angle of the vector (in degrees).
Length		REAL		The length of the vector.

Return Value

Returns a 3-dimensional vector.

Remarks

(_c_, 2022.01.20) The vector returned is always 3-dimensional whereby the last item is always 0: Pascal: {x, y, z}, Python: tuple (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Example

VectorScript

Message( Ang2Vec(45, 1) ); { 3-dimensional vector whose z item is always 0 }

Python

v = vs.Ang2Vec(45, 1)
vs.Message( str( v ) ) # 3-dimensional tuple whose last item is always 0
