Neither of these can be trusted to work inside functions IMHO.
Inside functions (ie LOCAL variable) the vector should be like so.
function DoSomeThing()
{
...
//BADBADBAD VECTOR target = vector(mouse_cursor.x,mouse_cursor.y,800); BADBADBAD//
VECTOR target;
vec_set(target,vector(mouse_cursor.x,mouse_cursor.y,800);
...
}But if you are defining it as a GLOBAL (outside a function), you should use
VECTOR* target = { x=0; y=0; z=0; }
...
function DoSomeThing()
{
...
vec_set(target, vector(mouse_cursor.x,mouse_cursor.y,800));
...
}Vectors are buggers to work with, I think it may be poor documentation,
or maybe Im just a bit thick. I had lots of troubles with them too.
But once you get to grips with them, its not a problem.
I expect both your examples to fail eventually because both create a pointer
to the vector() function result area, which is only a temporary data location.
Look at the remarks under the vector function in the manual.
