Description

The Vector4.TryParse method attempts to convert a string representation of a 4-dimensional vector into a Vector4 object. This method is static and can be called without instantiating a Vector4 object. It returns a boolean value indicating whether the parsing was successful.

Usage

Use this method when you need to safely parse a string into a Vector4 without throwing an exception if the string is not in a valid format. The method takes two parameters:

  • str: A System.String representing the vector to be parsed.
  • result: An output parameter of type Vector4 that will contain the parsed vector if the method returns true.

If the string is successfully parsed, the method returns true and the result parameter contains the parsed Vector4. If parsing fails, the method returns false and the result is set to Vector4.Zero.

Example

// Example usage of Vector4.TryParse
string vectorString = "1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0";
Vector4 vector;

bool success = Vector4.TryParse(vectorString, out vector);

if (success)
{
    // Use the parsed vector
    // vector.x == 1.0, vector.y == 2.0, vector.z == 3.0, vector.w == 4.0
}
else
{
    // Handle the parsing failure
    // vector is set to Vector4.Zero
}
