Noob here… I am working with a c# script in Unity which was originally written to scale an object on 2 separate axes (X/Z) using 2 separate variables (based on audio input). The change I am trying to make is to have that object scale in all axes uniformly.

I tried changing the variables from Floats to Vec3 and removed the trailing x and z in the localScales on the last line to make it uniform scaling. But as the title mentions, Unity says it can’t convert a Vec3 to a float. I think I understand the problem, but not the solution. I’ve looked at other similar posts and experimented but have come up empty.

I foresee changing these 2 variables to be uniform XYZ scales will multiply the effect — I think I’m okay with that, although I may want to try to make it use a single variable to do the scaling eventually.

Thank you to anyone willing to help me, I’ve been learning Python but haven’t gotten much into c# yet.

This is what the code looks like now (includes my changes):

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using static SAP.SapVars;


    public class GrowSap : MonoBehaviour
    {
        private RedactedForPrivacy sap;
        public SapSetBand growBand;
        public int band;
        public Vector3 height;
        public Vector3 baseHeight;
        private float _spectrumBand;

        // Start is called before the first frame update
        void Start()
        {
            sap = RedactedForPrivacy._SapInstance;
        }

        // Update is called once per frame
        void Update()
        {
            switch(growBand.bandType)
            {
                case BandType.Raw:
                    _spectrumBand = sap.GetSpectrumBand(growBand.source, growBand.spectrum, band);
                    break;

                case BandType.Smooth:
                    _spectrumBand = sap.GetSpectrumBandSmooth(growBand.source, growBand.spectrum, band);
                    break;

                case BandType.Trigger:
                    _spectrumBand = sap.GetSpectrumBandTrigger(growBand.source, growBand.spectrum, growBand.trigger, band);
                    break;
            }

        this.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.transform.localScale, baseHeight + _spectrumBand * height, this.transform.localScale);
    }
    }

This is what the original code looked like (height and baseHeight were formerly floats, and the local scale transformations on the last line stipulated .x and .z axes)

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using static SAP.SapVars;


    public class GrowSap : MonoBehaviour
    {
        private RedactedForPrivacy sap;
        public SapSetBand growBand;
        public int band;
        public float height;
        public float baseHeight;
        private float _spectrumBand;

        // Start is called before the first frame update
        void Start()
        {
            sap = RedactedForPrivacy._SapInstance;
        }

        // Update is called once per frame
        void Update()
        {
            switch(growBand.bandType)
            {
                case BandType.Raw:
                    _spectrumBand = sap.GetSpectrumBand(growBand.source, growBand.spectrum, band);
                    break;

                case BandType.Smooth:
                    _spectrumBand = sap.GetSpectrumBandSmooth(growBand.source, growBand.spectrum, band);
                    break;

                case BandType.Trigger:
                    _spectrumBand = sap.GetSpectrumBandTrigger(growBand.source, growBand.spectrum, growBand.trigger, band);
                    break;
            }

        this.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.transform.localScale.x, baseHeight + _spectrumBand * height, this.transform.localScale.z);
    }
    }
