Vec3 zeroing out?

[drwr]

It is the entire list of classes I named–all that I could think of. Quaternion and Matrix constructors initialize to identity, rather than zero.

Now there’s only this stuff to be solved.

But there are other non-Pythonic aspects of Panda, things that can lead to similar confusions. The fact that Vec3.zero() can’t be modified is weird to Python users. The fact that if you let go of your Actor pointer, the actor stops playing is weird. The fact that if you find an Actor out of the scene graph you just get back a regular NodePath is weird. The fact that you can’t pass parameters by keyword to most Panda calls is weird. The fact that you can overload parameters with different kinds of arguments, and get different behaviors, is weird.

Just kidding.

lol, well maybe a “gotchas” page in the manual would suffice?

Cool, im happy to hear that this is going to be changed in the next release.

thanks drwr, for your work and your patience towards us
