As opposed to CFrames, where mutliplying is basically adding.. Multiplying vectors actually multiplies them, according to each X, Y, and Z members of the Vectors you're multiplying.

print(Vector3.new(1,5,10) * Vector3.new(2,3,1)) --> 2, 15, 10

--[[
    1 * 2 = 2,
    5 * 3 = 15,
    10 * 1 = 10
]]

Multiplying CFrames isn't "basically adding" -- it's directly multiplying them, as matrices. Multiplying vectors isn't anything like "actually multiplying" them because that isn't defined for vectors. BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y

Thanks for pointing that out, I was just stating what outcome that mutliplying CFrames / Vectors has. Goulstem 8144 — 9y
