Read a vector3 from given binary reader.

static Vector3 Reflect( Vector3 direction, Vector3 normal, )

Returns a reflected vector based on incoming direction and plane normal. Like a ray reflecting off of a mirror.

static void Sort( ref Vector3 min, ref Vector3 max, )

Sort these two vectors into min and max. This doesn't just swap the vectors, it sorts each component. So that min will come out containing the minimum x, y and z values.

static bool TryParse( string str, out Vector3 result, )

static bool TryParse( string str, IFormatProvider provider, out Vector3 result, )

Implements IParsable`1.TryParse

Given a string, try to convert this into a vector. Example input formats that work would be "1,1,1", "1;1;1", "[1 1 1]".

This handles a bunch of different separators ( ' ', ',', ';', '\n', '\r' ).

It also trims surrounding characters ('[', ']', ' ', '\n', '\r', '\t', '"').

Converts a direction vector to an angle.

static Vector3 VectorPlaneProject( Vector3 v, Vector3 planeNormal, )

Projects given vector on a plane defined by planeNormal.

Vector3 Abs( )

Returns a new vector with all values positive. -5 becomes 5, etc.

Vector3 AddClamped( Vector3 toAdd, float maxLength, )

Try to add to this vector. If we're already over max then don't add. If we're over max when we add, clamp in that direction so we're not.

bool AlmostEqual( Vector3 v, float delta = 0.0001, )

Returns true if we're nearly equal to the passed vector.

Vector3 RotateAround( Vector3 center, Rotation rot, )

Rotate this vector around given point by given rotation and return the result as a new vector.

Snap to grid along any of the 3 axes.

Vector3 SubtractDirection( Vector3 direction, float strength = 1, )

Given a vector like 1,1,1 and direction 1,0,0, will return 0,1,1. This is useful for velocity collision type events, where you want to cancel out velocity based on a normal. For this to work properly, direction should be a normal, but you can scale how much you want to subtract by scaling the direction. Ie, passing in a direction with a length of 0.5 will remove half the direction.
