Operators on Vec2 and 4 missing?

[thehankinator]

I am not able to divide a Vec2 or Vec4 but Vec3 works fine. Seems like this should work, am I wrong?

local Case1 = Vec2(164, 0) / 255 --Doesn't work
local Case2 = Vec3(164, 0, 0) / 255 --Works
local Case3 = Vec4(164, 0, 0, 255) / 255 --Doesn't work

Error message for Case1 and 3 is:

Attempt to perform operation on an invalid operand

Appears they are missing looking at the class members available for Vec3 versus Vec2 & Vec4:

Vec3			Vec4			Vec2
.add			.add			missing members
.div			.eq
.eq			.mul
.mul
.sub
  

Don't know for sure if related but it appears to be. The '.div' member is missing for Vec4, but since the '.mul' member exists you can make Case3 work by multiplying the Vec4() with (1/255).

 

Would be nice if the other two vector classes were given the same abilities.

Yeah, the Vec2 and Vec4 classes don't get used as often so there are a few missing operands.

It'd be handy if Vec4 had a division operator for converting colors defined in 0-255 to 0-1

Just curious, but what do you have that is defining colors in 0-255? The editor does when you use the color picker but those values are converted to the 0-1 scale. Everything in LE now except for the color picker itself (which I suspect is due to the OS), specifically uses 0-1, so what are you doing/using that would require that specifically where you couldn't just make a simple function to handle it?

I am creating emitters in code. It's convenient for me to define them in the editor then convert them to code. I don't have to do it this way but a division operator for a Vec4 isn't an uncommon thing in a vector library. Nothing I am doing requires this operator, I've already got a workaround.
