Declaring Functions AS TYPEs

[TerryRitchie]

I feel your pain. Working with vector types just screams having a way to directly functionalize their manipulation. I resort to the somewhat clumsy approach of passing a variable back from a sub. The main issue being keeping track of which variable is the desired result. I use the first parameter as a return. Then I have to decide if I want to preserve original operands or overwrite them. At least it can be done in a fairly concise manner.

I imagine that since there are no rules against multi-dimensional (4+ element) vectors, there is simply no point in trying to satisfy all possibilities. So we'll just have to do the typical hacks.

Yep, I do the same sort of thing. It would be much nicer using a function instead of a subroutine though.,

Code: (Select All)

SUB AddVector (vin AS TYPE_VECTOR, vout AS TYPE_VECTOR)

    '| Add vin to vout. vout will contain the passed back result.
    '|
    '| AddVector MouseVector, WindowLocation

    vout.x = vout.x + vin.x
    vout.y = vout.y + vin.y

END SUB
