Question by koosa · Dec 03, 2017 at 01:07 PM · vectors

Why do we use vector3.normalized, like why would we say (target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized; I understand what it does, but I don't exactly understand why.

I understand it returns a vector3 with a length of one regardless of the other vector before it, but I don't understand how does that benefit us or how does that help us with certain functions, like steering behaviours for example.
