z	number	z coordinate	read/write

vector = vec3( 2, 3, 4 ) -- or vector = vec3( )
utility.println( 'x:' .. vector.x .. ' y:' .. vector.y .. ' z:' .. vector.z )

Method	Description	Returns
length( )	calculates the length	number
dot( other )	calculates the dot product	number
cross( other )	calculates the cross product	vec3

Calculates the length of the vector.

vector = vec3( 3, 4, 0 )
utility.println( 'length: ' .. vector:length( ) )

number - length of the vector

Calculates the dot product of two vectors.

Name	Type	Description
other	vec3	the other vector

a = vec3( 1, 0, 0 )
b = vec3( 0, 1, 0 )
utility.println( 'dot: ' .. a:dot( b ) )

number - dot product of the two vectors

Calculates the cross product of two vectors.

Name	Type	Description
other	vec3	the other vector

a = vec3( 1, 0, 0 )
b = vec3( 0, 1, 0 )
c = a:cross( b )
utility.println( 'cross: ' .. c.x .. ' ' .. c.y .. ' ' .. c.z )
