Node js null server and "dirty" vector3's

Questions
1

I’m using Babylon on a node js project to keep track of game state, but whenever I try to instantiate a vector3 and send it to the client, the result is always an isDirty vector3, and x y and z properties don’t get included… Any chance to disable or chance this behavior?

How do you send the Vector3 to the client?

3

using socket.io (which admittedly I’m fairly new to)

You need to serialize it in some way.
You could do something like this:
Server send: JSON.stringify(vector)
Client receive: new Vector3().copyFrom(JSON.parse(data))

alright, thanks.

Too bad, before the advent of this _isDirty property, this was not necessary.

Using vector.asArray() and Vector3.FromArray() would greatly reduce the transfer size which is smthg to consider as well :slight_smile:
