I have already tried out: VECTOR* vector1; if (vector1.x < 1) ... but it does not work! new project in early stage... Intel Xeon X3450 2,66GHz \| Mushkin 8 Gib \| Zotac GTS250 + 7300LE \| A8.3 com

(thats waht i want ;)) vec_length is not what i need because I only want to get the x-value of the vector and not the whole xyz-vector Last edited by MPQ; 02/27/09 17:35. new project in early stage...

To clarify the defining, Code: VECTOR* vector1 = { x=0; y=0; z=0; } //if OUTSIDE a function (global variable/vector) VECTOR vector1; //needs both these lines in this order vec_zero(vector1); // if inside a function(local variable/vector) "There is no fate but what WE make." - CEO Cyberdyne Systems Corp.
