Vector used for 4D math using floating point coordinates.
</brief_description>
<description>
2022-07-25 21:53:03 +00:00
4-element structure that can be used to represent any quadruplet of numeric values.
It uses floating-point coordinates. See [Vector4i] for its integer counterpart.
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a Vector4 will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it's equal to [code]Vector4(0, 0, 0, 0)[/code]. Otherwise, a Vector4 will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].
