Strange float value after 'Get Vector3 XYZ'
« on: December 08, 2012, 09:13:59 AM »
Hi,

After getting a Vector3 (Get Vector3 XYZ), the X value is not the same as the original X value of the vector 3.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Could possibly be something to do with Inverse Transform Direction?

The E-07 part of the number means it's a very small number: 0.000000192

This happens sometimes when working with floats because of rounding errors. The UI should probably just show 0 in this case, to avoid confusion...

Thanks for that. Always wondered what that meant.

I'll get around it for now by using the float round action.
