Multiply Position; “Must be a scalar”
…whatever that means..!
I’ve had a google around, to no avail.
Why won’t
transform.position * [0, -1];
not work?I’d have to do something like this to make that work..
a = transform.position;
[a[0], a[1]*-1]Is there no other way?
Figure I’d get that cleared up after years of confusion…!

Well, cause one of the arguments of * operation ‘must be a scalar’. Smth like that would work in Python but not in Javascript.
[a[0], a[1]]*[1, -1] = [a[0], a[1]*(-1)] is element-wise multiplication. It exists in JS’s as math.dotMultiply(x, y) but is not implemented in AE’s expressions.

ooohkay.. I googled “javascript scalar” (..and later “element-wise multiplication”).
“A Scalar is a variable that holds an individual value.”That cleared that up!
Thanks!
