Add value to XNA Vector2

Question

I wonder if it's possibel to add a value to X and Y in a Vector2? I have this code that creates a missile that use the position from the spaceship as a start position. But I would like to add some pixels so that the missile starts a little bit away from the spaceship. can I do that?

objectManager.AddNewMissileToList(new Missile(textureMissile, spaceship.spaceshipPosition, spaceship.spaceshipDirection));

Answer 1

You mean something like

Vector2 offset = new Vector2(2,1);
objectManager.AddNewMissileToList(new Missile(textureMissile, spaceship.spaceshipPosition + offset, spaceship.spaceshipDirection));

if the spaceShipDirection is directional vector

Vector2 offset = spaceship.spaceshipDirection * 1.5f;
objectManager.AddNewMissileToList(new Missile(textureMissile, spaceship.spaceshipPosition + offset, spaceship.spaceshipDirection));

or if the spaceShipDirection is float angle

Vector2 offset = new Vector2((float)Math.Sin(spaceship.spaceshipDirection),
                             (float)Math.Cos(spaceship.spaceshipDirection))
                 * 1.5f;

objectManager.AddNewMissileToList(new Missile(textureMissile, spaceship.spaceshipPosition + offset, spaceship.spaceshipDirection));
