Vector2i

A 2D vector using integer coordinates.

Description

A 2-element structure that can be used to represent 2D grid coordinates or any other pair of integers.

It uses integer coordinates and is therefore preferable to Vector2 when exact precision is required. Note that the values are limited to 32 bits, and unlike Vector2 this cannot be configured with an engine build option. Use int or PackedInt64Array if 64-bit values are needed.

Note: In a boolean context, a Vector2i will evaluate to false if it’s equal to Vector2i(0, 0). Otherwise, a Vector2i will always evaluate to true.

Returns true if the vectors are not equal.

Vector2i operator %(right: Vector2i) 🔗

Gets the remainder of each component of the Vector2i with the components of the given Vector2i. This operation uses truncated division, which is often not desired as it does not work well with negative numbers. Consider using @GlobalScope.posmod instead if you want to handle negative numbers.

print(Vector2i(10, -20) % Vector2i(7, 8)) # Prints "(3, -4)"

Vector2i operator %(right: int) 🔗

Gets the remainder of each component of the Vector2i with the given int. This operation uses truncated division, which is often not desired as it does not work well with negative numbers. Consider using @GlobalScope.posmod instead if you want to handle negative numbers.

Compares two Vector2i vectors by first checking if the X value of the left vector is greater than or equal to the X value of the right vector. If the X values are exactly equal, then it repeats this check with the Y values of the two vectors. This operator is useful for sorting vectors.

int operator [](index: int) 🔗

Access vector components using their index. v[0] is equivalent to v.x, and v[1] is equivalent to v.y.
