I have a problem understanding the vector classes used for Collision detection. For example this vector class for the rayplaneCollision tutorial from www.gametutorials.com. struct CVector3 { public: float x, y, z; }; CVector3 Cross(CVector3 vVector1, CVector3 vVector2); CVector3 Vector(CVector3 vPoint1, CVector3 vPoint2); float Magnitude(CVector3 vNormal); CVector3 Normalize(CVector3 vNormal); CVector3 Normal(CVector3 vTriangle[]); I know wat verctors are. A vector has got a magnitude and a direction. The thing I don''t understand is why there is no direction in the vector class. There are only co-odinate of one point. Please help me understand. Thanks. The One.

So, there are extualy two points, a static point with the co-ordinates 0,0,0 and a variable point with the x,y,z from the vector class. I understand it now . I knew there must be two point in order to get the direction of the vector, but I was not certain that the second point was 0,0,0.
Is this methode used in most of the vector classes?

Thanks.

Well, actually you don''t need a second point at all, that is the nice thing with vectors, they are independent of the origin. Perhaps someone has a nice tutorial concerning vectors for you.
