Basic questions on Vector3's/math
« on: March 29, 2015, 07:03:18 PM »
 Sorry I'm a newbie and probably missing something very obvious...

First off I'm confused by the Vector3 Multiply (and other similar) action(s).  This function allows you to multiply a Vector3 by a float, but there is no variable slot for the resulting Vector3.  Does this simply change the value of the original vector 3 and subsequent use of this variable will reflect this value?  If not how do you actually use or reference the results of this action?

Also, constantly updating an current V3 value to a new V3 value seems relatively easy in scripting (vector3 example = new vector3 (x,y,z)).  Is there a simple way way to do this in Playmaker?  Thanks!  Aaaaand be gentle to the Newb.
