| Output | Vector length is 141.42135620117 |
Additional Notes
- All vectors start at 0, 0, 0. The end of the vector is the x,y and z coordinates it holds.
- This is the same thing as doing this:
Vector:Distance(Vector(0, 0, 0))
- It is computationally expensive to get the length of a vector. If you're only using the length for comparison, consider alternatives such as Vector.LengthSqr .
