<brief_description>
A 4D vector using integer coordinates.
</brief_description>
<description>
A 4-element structure that can be used to represent 4D grid coordinates or any other quadruplet of integers.
It uses integer coordinates and is therefore preferable to [Vector4] when exact precision is required. Note that the values are limited to 32 bits, and unlike [Vector4] this cannot be configured with an engine build option. Use [int] or [PackedInt64Array] if 64-bit values are needed.
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a Vector4i will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it's equal to [code]Vector4i(0, 0, 0, 0)[/code]. Otherwise, a Vector3i will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].

<constructors>
<constructor name="Vector4i">

<param index="0" name="from" type="Vector4" />
<description>
Constructs a new [Vector4i] from the given [Vector4] by truncating components' fractional parts (rounding towards zero). For a different behavior consider passing the result of [method Vector4.ceil], [method Vector4.floor] or [method Vector4.round] to this constructor instead.

<param index="0" name="min" type="Vector4i" />
<param index="1" name="max" type="Vector4i" />
<description>
Returns a new vector with all components clamped between the components of [param min] and [param max], by running [method @GlobalScope.clamp] on each component.
</description>
</method>
<method name="length" qualifiers="const">
<return type="float" />
<description>
Returns the length (magnitude) of this vector.
</description>
</method>
<method name="length_squared" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" />
<description>
Returns the squared length (squared magnitude) of this vector.
This method runs faster than [method length], so prefer it if you need to compare vectors or need the squared distance for some formula.

</method>
<method name="max_axis_index" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" />
<description>
Returns the axis of the vector's highest value. See [code]AXIS_*[/code] constants. If all components are equal, this method returns [constant AXIS_X].

<description>
Returns a new vector with each component set to [code]1[/code] if it's positive, [code]-1[/code] if it's negative, and [code]0[/code] if it's zero. The result is identical to calling [method @GlobalScope.sign] on each component.

<description>
Gets the remainder of each component of the [Vector4i] with the components of the given [Vector4i]. This operation uses truncated division, which is often not desired as it does not work well with negative numbers. Consider using [method @GlobalScope.posmod] instead if you want to handle negative numbers.
[codeblock]
print(Vector4i(10, -20, 30, -40) % Vector4i(7, 8, 9, 10)) # Prints "(3, -4, 3, 0)"

<description>
Compares two [Vector4i] vectors by first checking if the X value of the left vector is less than the X value of the [param right] vector.

This operator is useful for sorting vectors.

Access vector components using their [param index]. [code]v[0][/code] is equivalent to [code]v.x[/code], [code]v[1][/code] is equivalent to [code]v.y[/code], [code]v[2][/code] is equivalent to [code]v.z[/code], and [code]v[3][/code] is equivalent to [code]v.w[/code].

<description>
Returns the same value as if the [code]+[/code] was not there. Unary [code]+[/code] does nothing, but sometimes it can make your code more readable.

</operator>
<operator name="operator unary-">
<return type="Vector4i" />
<description>
Returns the negative value of the [Vector4i]. This is the same as writing [code]Vector4i(-v.x, -v.y, -v.z, -v.w)[/code]. This operation flips the direction of the vector while keeping the same magnitude.
