Vector3.ClampMagnitude

Description

Returns a copy of vector with its magnitude clamped to maxLength.

    // Move the object around with the arrow keys but confine it
    // to a given radius around a center point.
    var centerPt: Vector3;
    var radius: float;


    function Update() {
        // Get the new position for the object.
        var movement = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
        var newPos = transform.position + movement;

        // Calculate the distance of the new position from the center point. Keep the direction
        // the same but clamp the length to the specified radius.
        var offset = newPos - centerPt;
        transform.position = centerPt + Vector3.ClampMagnitude(offset, radius);
    }
