Vector3.Reflect

static function Reflect(inDirection: Vector3, inNormal: Vector3): Vector3;

Description

Reflects a vector off the plane defined by a normal.

The inNormal vector defines a plane (a plane's normal is the vector that is perpendicular to its surface). the inDirection vector is treated as a directional arrow coming in to the plane. The returned value is a vector of equal magnitude to inDirection but with its direction reflected.


Reflection of a vector off a plane.
