The Vector2 node is a 2D vector toolbox for positions and directions (X, Y). Typical uses:

Variables

Expand the Vector2 node to access the following preset variables:

Variable	Type	Description
down	`Vector2`	A vector pointing in the downward direction (0, -1).
left	`Vector2`	A vector pointing in the left direction (-1, 0).
one	`Vector2`	A vector with all components set to 1 (1, 1).
right	`Vector2`	A vector pointing in the right direction (1, 0).
up	`Vector2`	A vector pointing in the upward direction (0, 1).
zero	`Vector2`	A vector with all components set to 0 (0, 0).

Expand the Vector2 node to access the following methods:

Method	Return type	Description
Angle	`float`	The angle in degrees between two vectors, measured from the first vector to the second vector. The result is always between 0 and 180 degrees.
Distance	`float`	The distance between two points in 2D space.
Dot	`float`	The dot product of two vectors, which is a measure of how much one vector goes in the direction of another. You can use it to determine the angle between two vectors or to project one vector onto another.
Lerp	`Vector2`	A linear interpolation between two vectors based on a given interpolation factor (t). When t is 0, the result is the first vector. When t is 1, the result is the second vector. When t is between 0 and 1, the result is a blend of the two vectors.
Max	`Vector2`	A vector that contains the maximum value of each component from two vectors.
Min	`Vector2`	A vector that contains the minimum value of each component from two vectors.
Scale	`Vector2`	Use to scale one vector by another, for example, to apply a non-uniform scale to a position or direction.
