adding( x + x, y + y)

Hi,
is there a way beyond t2dVectorAdd to add a couple of vectors in game? For instance, could I say...


%this.owner.setPosition(%this.owner.position + %this.xyoffset);

The reason I ask is because when I setPositions, with an object position + offset I need to set, or get x and y of the object then x and y of the offset. I would prefer if I could just somehow add the two vectors......



I guess, just t2dVectorAdd eh? set to a variable.

    try : 
    %this.owner.setPosition( t2dVectorAdd( %this.owner.position, %this.xyoffset ) );

    right will do. I was not thinking that I could plug the vector method into the string.

    In fact, all is treated as strings in TorqueScript.
