float osVecMagSquare(vector a)
| |
| returns the square of the magnitude of vector a. This saves doing a square root math operation that is relative slow, when is not needed. for example to check if magnitude is larger than 10, check if squared is larger than 100 | |
| Threat Level | ignore is unknown threat level |
| Permissions | Use of this function is always allowed by default |
