cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.Vector3' to 'float'

Hi,
I get this error : cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.Vector3' to 'float'
Using this code :

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     Rigidbody rBody;
4.     float speed = 20;
5.     public float hoverForce = 9.0f;
6.     public float hoverHeight = 2.0f;
7.     public float deepHeight = 1.0f;
8.     public float deepForce = 20.0f;
9.     public float deepSmoothTime = .12f;
10.     bool deep;
11.     Transform cameraT;
12.     Vector3 targetDir;
13.     Vector3 deepSmoothVelocity;
14.  
15.  
16.     void Start()
17.     {
18.         rBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
19.         cameraT = Camera.main.transform;
20.     }
21.  
22.     void FixedUpdate()
23.     {
24.         //Controls
25.         Vector3 controlDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
26.         Vector3 actualDirection = cameraT.TransformDirection(controlDirection);
27.  
28.         rBody.AddForce(actualDirection * speed);
29.  
30.         //Ray Casting for height
31.         Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, -transform.up);
32.         RaycastHit hit;
33.         {
34.         if (Physics.Raycast (ray, out hit, hoverHeight))
35.             {
36.                 rBody.AddForceAtPosition(Vector3.up * hoverForce * (1.0f - (hit.distance / hoverHeight)), transform.position);
37.                 Debug.DrawLine(ray.origin, hit.point, Color.blue);
38.  
39.                 if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, deepHeight))
40.                 {
41.                     rBody.velocity = new Vector3(rBody.velocity.x, Vector3.SmoothDamp(rBody.velocity, new Vector3(rBody.velocity.x, 0, rBody.velocity.z), ref deepSmoothVelocity, deepSmoothTime));
42.  
43.                      Debug.DrawLine(ray.origin, hit.point, Color.red);
44.                     print(rBody.velocity.y);
45.                 }
46.             }
47.             else
48.             {
49.                 //GetComponent<Material>(Color.red);
50.                 Debug.DrawLine(ray.origin, ray.origin + ray.direction * 100, Color.green);
51.             }
52.         }
53.     }
54. }

The line that gets an error is this one :

Code (CSharp):

1. rBody.velocity = new Vector3(rBody.velocity.x, Vector3.SmoothDamp(rBody.velocity, new Vector3(rBody.velocity.x, 0, rBody.velocity.z), ref deepSmoothVelocity, deepSmoothTime));

Does anyone know how to fix it ? I would be really grateful !

Just got it to work !
I was simply using a vector3 instead of float.
Good night

 

hey I know this is old but can you explain how you solved it to me? I am having the same error and I cannot seem to figure it out.

 

Here is the code I put it into a text file to make it easier to view. Thank you for the help.

 

I don't know how to view the errors in visual studio code? There are no red squiggles or anything.
