binding a persistent object to a Timeline in a tempoary scene

So, I just noticed something I should have thought about a while ago.

I have recently moved our Cinemachine Brain and Main Camera to a persistent scene. However, I use lots of Timeline sequences with the Cinemachine plugin.

if there is no Brain component attached to the timeline plugin on start, is there a way to have it search for a Brain component in the scene?

Thanks in advance.

I am far from an expert but it would go something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.Timeline;
3. using UnityEngine.Playables;
4. using Cinemachine;
5. using Cinemachine.Timeline;
6.  
7. public class TimsTimelineReplaceBindings : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     PlayableDirector playableDirector;
10.  
11.     private void Start()
12.     {
13.         playableDirector = GetComponent<PlayableDirector>();
14.     }
15.  
16.     public void SetBrain()
17.     {
18.         CinemachineBrain brain = Camera.main.gameObject.GetComponent<CinemachineBrain>();
19.  
20.         var timelineAsset = playableDirector.playableAsset as TimelineAsset;
21.  
22.         if (timelineAsset == null)
23.             return;
24.  
25.         for (var i = 0; i < timelineAsset.outputTrackCount; i++)
26.         {
27.                 var track = timelineAsset.GetOutputTrack(i);
28.                
29.                
30.                 Debug.Log(track.name + " : " + track.GetType());
31.  
32.             CinemachineTrack t = track as CinemachineTrack;
33.             if(t != null)
34.                 playableDirector.SetGenericBinding(track, brain);
35.         }
36.     }
37. }
38.  

 

Hey,

Thanks you for this!
