I’ve dug around briefly online for this MakeFloatX node, following a tutorial, and it doesn’t seem to exist anymore. I’ve seen closed forum posts about it with a workaround that doesn’t work either, due to material functions not existing anymore either.

But messing around a little I discovered this AppendMany node that seems to do exactly what I need. It seems to be the MakeFloat2, 3 and 4 all in one. If this node is a red flag, please lemme know, otherwise if this node is the replacement I think it is, then at least I can share this finding with everyone.

To make a param/expression with 2, 3, or 4 floats in it, just use vectors. Holding 1 and clicking mat graph makes a single float, holding 2, 3, or 4 and clicking makes vectors with 2/3/4 channels.Or you can right click and look for Constant2/3/4Vector nodes to make.

The new nodes for this are called Make Vector, Make Vector2, Make Vector3 and Make Vector4. The problem is that they don’t come up in the list if you drag a pin. So you have to create it on its own first.

The opposite nodes are called Break FloatX. Why didn’t they use the same name, I have no idea.
