Vector3 turns to dictionary?

tsray

I've been trying to play around with 3.0 alpha1 build (no real experience with earlier versions either), and few times already I've ran onto this (when doing different things); just now with KinematicBody when trying to use move() ;

var motion = Vector3(1,2,3) motion = move(motion) # this should return Vector3 afaik? print ("m=", motion.length())

As far as I've understood, at this point motion should be Vector3, but I'm getting error "Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'length' in base 'Dictionary'." Am I missing something here?

it seems that setting motion to move(motion) is in fact returning a dictionary. you could write, var motion = vec3() then immediately write motion.length()

otherwise just print move(motion) and see what it looks like, then make a vector out of what is stored in the dictionary

In Godot 3.0, move() returns a dictionary with more information compared to the 2.0, like the collider. To access the motion you have to get the ["travel"].

Documentation even master appears to be lacking, but no matter, this helped a lot anyway, thank you. It would seem that if there is no collision, move returns just empty dictionary (no "travel" in there; I had tried printing it before asking, but since it happened to be empty, that didn't clue me in), and only in case of collision further information is provided.
