hi!
well i was using the DBPro vector commands and suddenly noticed a strange thing:

+ Code Snippet

r=make vector3(myvec1)
r=make vector3(myvec2)
set vector3 myvec1,100,100,100
set vector3 myvec1,200,200,200
print "myvec1=";x vector3(myvec1);",";y vector3(myvec1);",";z vector3(myvec1)
print "myvec2=";x vector3(myvec2);",";y vector3(myvec2);",";z vector3(myvec2)
wait key

This code should print out:
myvec1=100,100,100
myvec2=200,200,200
but it prints out:
myvec1=200,200,200
myvec2=200,200,200

it seems to me that the second set vector3 also sets the first one.
confused...
Thanks for help

I believe that the problem is that both myvec1 and myvec2 are equal to zero. What the compiler sees is not set vector2(myvec1) set vector3(myvec2), but set vector3(0) set vector3(0).

If you set one of the variables like so:

+ Code Snippet

myvec2 = 1
r=make vector3(myvec1)
r=make vector3(myvec2)
set vector3 myvec1,100,100,100
set vector3 myvec2,200,200,200
print "myvec1=";x vector3(myvec1);",";y vector3(myvec1);",";z vector3(myvec1)
print "myvec2=";x vector3(myvec2);",";y vector3(myvec2);",";z vector3(myvec2)
wait key

Then it works correctly.
