Edit: This was a thread about setting vectors, but I'm being a fool. I've used these successfully myself before, so they must work. I must just be doing something wrong. Will continue banging my head against the wall and try and suss it out.

For reference, I had created a 4float vector in ID 1 and a 3 float vector in ID 1 also. I believe because these are different types of vector, they have their own ID sequences and therefore this is valid. However, when I was using the dbSetEffectConstantVector command, I wanted to pass my 3 float vector. Instead it was passing my 4 float vector.

Lesson: dbSetEffectConstantVector() only works with 4 float vectors.

no, they all use the same sequence, so if you create a vector3 with id 1 and then matrix4 with the same id, matrix will overwrite vector3 and vice versa

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification. Either way, the problem seemed to be the sending of a 3 float vector. I'll check into that to make sure.
