Cinemachine 2.2.8 problems

1. I need cinemachine to update via Update(). Now it allows only LateUpdate, FixedUpdate and so-called Smart Update (whatever it means). But for proper work of world-based canvases, I need to update Camera in Update() and then canvases in LateUpdate(). Just because of this reason I needed to copy all the plugin int Assets and use it - just for changing LateUpdate to Update in CinemachineBrain.

2. In this version StateDrivenCamera doesn't switch off (gameObject.SetActive(false)) previous camera. I checked old version, and it has:

public override void UpdateCameraState(Vector3 worldUp, float deltaTime)
{
//UnityEngine.Profiling.Profiler.BeginSample("CinemachineStateDrivenCamera.UpdateCameraState");
if (!PreviousStateIsValid)
deltaTime = -1;

UpdateListOfChildren();
CinemachineVirtualCameraBase best = ChooseCurrentCamera(deltaTime);
if (m_ChildCameras != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < m_ChildCameras.Length; ++i)
{
CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam = m_ChildCameras;
if (vcam != null)
{
bool enableChild = m_EnableAllChildCameras || vcam == best;
if (enableChild != vcam.VirtualCameraGameObject.activeInHierarchy)
{
vcam.gameObject.SetActive(enableChild);
.......................

and 2.2.8 has
public override void InternalUpdateCameraState(Vector3 worldUp, float deltaTime)
{
if (!PreviousStateIsValid)
deltaTime = -1;

UpdateListOfChildren();
CinemachineVirtualCameraBase best = ChooseCurrentCamera(deltaTime);
if (best != null && !best.gameObject.activeInHierarchy)
{
best.gameObject.SetActive(true);
................

and no gameobject.setactive(false) in entire plugin (related to state driven camera).

 

thanks a lot

 

No, your solution doesn't work. As you can see, Standby update is set to "never" - and still several state cameras are active simultaneously.

 

yeah, exactly. gameobects are active.

I made my custom classes, where I subscribe on my custom input (for example, I want to realize input via network). And now I solve a task about switching between two states - near-to-ground 3d and over-ground top-down - via zoom. I subscribe _each_ state camera to input - and want to change zoom and handle "zoom limit" case _only_ on current active camera. Previously I just checked if a gameobject is active, and now seems like I suppose to check Core.Brain.ActiveCamera every time I want to change zoom. Or cache the state camera on state changed.
And the point is that:
1. in previous versions virtual cameras were being disabled on state change; and all the code that based on this feature is not compatible to the new plugin version
2. in the beginning only current state virtual camera is enabled (at least in my project, which was originally based on previous plugin version), and then during lifetime all the cameras switch on and stay active - and it seems like sort of "unconsistent behaviour" - in my opinion, they should either switch on and switch off or stay active from the beginning.

 

foreach (var z in zoomers)
{
z.OnMaxZoomReached += () => {
if ((Cinemachine.CinemachineCore.Instance.GetActiveBrain(0).ActiveVirtualCamera as CinemachineStateDrivenCameraCustom).LiveChild == z)
OnMaxZoomReached();
};
}

something like this. to check if a camera is the current camera, I need all the
(Cinemachine.CinemachineCore.Instance.GetActiveBrain(0).ActiveVirtualCamera as CinemachineStateDrivenCameraCustom).LiveChild
