```

### Parameters

**** (\[Vector3Int]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector3int)): The Vector3Int to convert.

### Returns

| Type                                                                    | Description |

| [Vector2Int](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector2int.md) |             |

### Remarks

You can explicitly convert a `Vector3Int` to a `Vector2Int` by casting.

The z component is discarded in the conversion.
