Question Adding a simple zoom button for a first-person virtual camera

Warning: Script noob ahead!

So... I was trying to add a simple zoom function to the Cinemachine Virtual Camera with Bolt, but it seems there's no way to change the camera's FoV via Bolt at all, even after I added Cinemachine in Bolt's Assembly Options. So, my next try was to use a C# script that does this. I got the button check working alright but the Cinemachine thingy doesn't work at all. Here's what I tried:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using Cinemachine;
5.  
6. public class CinemachineZoom : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     public float zoom1;
10.     public float zoom2;
11.  
12.     void Update()
13.     {
14.         if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftAlt))
15.         {
16.             Debug.Log("Zooming in...");
17.             vcam.m_lens.FieldOfView = zoom2;
18.         }
19.         else
20.         {
21.             Debug.Log("Zooming out.");
22.             vcam.m_lens.FieldOfView = zoom1;
23.         }
24.     }
25. }
26.  

I added the script as component directly to the Cinemachine Virtual Camera game object itself.

When I return to Unity after creating/editing the script, I get these two lovely errors:

Assets\Scripts\CinemachineZoom.cs(17,13): error CS0103: The name 'vcam' does not exist in the current context

Assets\Scripts\CinemachineZoom.cs(22,13): error CS0103: The name 'vcam' does not exist in the current context

So... What did I wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thank you! That did the trick!

 

Sorry if I bother again but is there also a way to set the X/Y axis speed when zoomed in? I can't find any settings for it in script...

 

The look speed, when moving the mouse

 

Yup. Sorry, I didn't mention that earlier, I'm still kinda new here.

 

Thank you! It works!

 

Hi, I noticed your post. I made this a few days ago if you ever need it. Zoom function without FOV manipulation in Cinemachine.
