<function name="WriteNormal" parent="net" type="libraryfunc">⤶
<description>⤶
Writes a normalized/direction vector ( Vector with length of 1 ) to the net message.⤶
⤶
This function uses less bandwidth compared to <page>net.WriteVector</page> and will not send vectors with length of &gt; 1 properly.⤶
