Feature Request [ANSWERED] Constant vector shorthands

Edit: I am stupid.

A simple suggestion: When using Vector shorthands, like

Vector2Int.left

, they're accessed as properties and aren't declared as constants. I can't think of a good reason for them to be this way (their definition is to be shorthands for something like

new Vector2Int(-1, 0)

, so they won't change at runtime. However, them being implemented this way makes them impossible to use as a case match in a switch statement:
While not a big deal, it's annoying having to use workarounds when checking for vector equality in switch statements.

 

edit: sorry i really thought vector2int was a class in unity..

you cannot have a constant class, as Vector2Int is a class IT ISNT it just wont work per language spec:

"Constants are immutable values which are known at compile time and do not change for the life of the program. Constants are declared with the const modifier. Only the C# built-in types (excluding System.Object) may be declared as const. User-defined types, including classes, structs, and arrays, cannot be const. Use the readonly modifier to create a class, struct, or array that is initialized one time at run time (for example in a constructor) and thereafter cannot be changed."

They're structs. They can't be constant.

 

You're absolutely correct. I completely overlooked that after doing too much vanilla C# programming. I will mark this one as solved.
