Vector3 does not contain a constructor that takes 3 arguments

Questions & Answers

I’m not sure why this is happening. I’m a beginner to scripting, but I was under the impression that Vector3 took an X, Y and Z - why won’t it take 3 arguments? in this case?

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Vector3 : MonoBehaviour {
	
	Vector3 position = new Vector3 (0.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f);


	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		print (position.x);
		print (position.y);
		print (position.z);
		print (position.magnitude);
		
		position.Normalize ();
		print ("Now with normalization");
		print (position.x);
		print (position.y);
		print (position.z);
		print (position.magnitude); 


	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	
	}
}

Your script is defining a class called Vector3. This is clearly an error, since you don’t want to define a class that replaces the Unity one. You’re getting the error because your Vector3 doesn’t have any constructors.
