net.WriteNormal
Description
Writes a normalized/direction vector ( Vector with length of 1 ) to the net message.
This function uses less bandwidth compared to net.WriteVector and will not send vectors with length of > 1 properly.
Arguments
Example
Showcases the difference between this function and net.WriteVector.
if ( SERVER ) then
util.AddNetworkString( "test1" )
util.AddNetworkString( "test2" )
timer.Simple( 1, function()
net.Start( "test1" )
net.WriteVector( Vector( 1.23456789, 2.3456789, 3.456789 ) )
net.Broadcast()
net.Start( "test2" )
net.WriteNormal( Vector( 1.23456789, 2.3456789, 3.456789 ) )
net.Broadcast()
net.Start( "test2" )
net.WriteNormal( Vector( 1.23456789, 2.3456789, 3.456789 ):GetNormalized() )
net.Broadcast()
net.Start( "test2" )
net.WriteNormal( Vector( 0.5, -0.5, 0.23 ) )
net.Broadcast()
end )
else
net.Receive( "test1", function( ... )
print( ... )
print( net.ReadVector() )
end )
net.Receive( "test2", function( ... )
print( ... )
print( net.ReadNormal() )
end )
end
