DirectX :: XMVECTOR函数XMVectorSetByIndex（）未设置浮点（C ++）

Question

I am having some trouble performing what seems like it should be a simple task in C++, where I am trying to change the values inside a vector (DirectX::XMVECTOR) using the command XMVectorSetByIndex().

In the code below, the command XMVectorGetByIndex() works fine, with new_y being set to 1.7 (after adding 0.2). However, XMVectorSetByIndex() does not lead to test becoming {0.0f, 1.7f, 2.0f, 0.0f} as I would expect (rather it remains unchanged).

    XMVECTOR test = { 0.0f, 1.5f, 2.0f, 0.0f };
    float new_y = XMVectorGetByIndex(test, 1) + 0.2;
    XMVectorSetByIndex(test, new_y, 1);

I've tried a few different things but had no luck getting the function to work. I just can't see what the issue is (especially given XMVectorGetByIndex() works with no issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Answer 1

XMVectorSetByIndex function returns new vector with modified content, it does not modify input vector inplace. So you should overwrite test :

test = XMVectorSetByIndex(test, new_y, 1);

Answer 2

XMVectorSetByIndex does not modify the vector you pass in, it returns the new result instead.

XMVECTOR test = { 0.0f, 1.5f, 2.0f, 0.0f };
float new_y = XMVectorGetByIndex(test, 1) + 0.2;
test = XMVectorSetByIndex(test, new_y, 1);
