Thank you, I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to divide a vector 2d by a float and UE5 saying a float real is not compatible with a vector2d using the divide function. but now I’ve disabled type promotion i can see vector2d/float.

After reading about the conversion thing, it was clear and I tried forcing the return value directly on the pin and it’ll convert, even more easily.

Tutorials are saved! Tx eb that helped.

If you try to multiply a vector, it will expect another vector, however you can right click on the other input in multiply node and on the bottom you can change the type. So you can multiply a vector with a float but you have a couple of extra things to do.

Hopefully Unreal makes this easier.
