Cinemachine state-driven camera vs enabling/disabling cameras manually

Hi
It does sound like a good candidate for state-driven camera.

The big benefit would be that you don't need to write extra code to manage changing and blending between vcams depending on state. But if you have already scripted the logic and are happy with it, then possibly you can stick with it, if you don't plan on expanding it.

Also, I generally change priorities of vcams, rather than disable/enable.

 

@Serjiosalva the State Driven Camera module was originally designed to make it simple to link cameras with animations. For example, the Gears of War 'Roadie Run', a shaky, super wide FOV camera for when you're sprinting is a snap to hookup with a SDC as that animation event is probably already exposed.

Since your battle phases most likely have multiple different animations running during them, the SDC would only work if you also have a state for each battle type which stays on for the desired duration of that battle phase. If so, great, SDC is probably a great way to go.

If not, if you don't have a state which lasts for the battle duration, gaborkb's point above about setting camera priority during the battle stages is the way to go as you can control the cameras to perfectly line up with your battle states.

Let us know how it goes.
