Vectors and JKUs

Questions:

Does the VectorSet() function use JKUs, and if so, how big are JKUs?

Yes, to my knowledge, all mesuring in JK is done in JKU. JKUs are quite large, the walkplayer is only about .25 JKU tall.

Close GBK, but not quite.. 1 JKU = 10 meters, .1 JKU = 1 meter. So in JED, if you have your dot setting on .1, every dot will be 1 meter. You'll notice kyle can barely walk through a .2 JKU doorway, which would be 2 meters, or about 6 feet 6 inches (dang, that's pretty tall!).

With the collide box, walkplayer is almost .25, more or less. Tall yes, but its true.,..

VectorSet actually has no unit.

It sets a vector from 3 x, y, z elements.
If you use it for verbs that deals with length, like VectorLen(posA, posB) it will return the value with JKU unit, otherwise for instance SetThingPos(thing, pos), the vector "pos" is the x, y, z global position. (may be in JKU though), but look vectors are not in JKU.
