Cinemachine Target Group , Add Target in runtime when a player joins game

Exactly as the title says, how do i (in code) add a target to the cinemachine target group script in runtime?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. targetGroup = GameObject.Find("TargetGroup1").GetComponent<CinemachineTargetGroup>();
2.  
3. Cinemachine.CinemachineTargetGroup.Target target;
4. target.target = "Target to add";
5. target.weight = "the weight";
6. target.radius = "the radius";
7.  
8.         for (int i = 0; i < targetGroup.m_Targets.Length; i++)
9.         {
10.             if (targetGroup.m_Targets[i].target == null)
11.             {
12.                 targetGroup.m_Targets.SetValue(target, i);
13.                 return;
14.             }
15.         }

I fixed it by doing this, and add multiple NULL targets in the targetgroup in the editor.

 

- my custom List.
- target group Array.
for some reason target transform is not set. Some mistakes with value-type creation process, I guess, but it's same with TS way!

Here is Code:

Spoiler: Adding Target code

Code (CSharp):

1.         var index = -1;
2.  
3.         var count = TargetGroup.m_Targets.Length;
4.    
5.         for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
6.         {
7.             if (TargetGroup.m_Targets[i].target == null)
8.             {
9.                 index = i;
10.                 break;
11.             }
12.         }
13.    
14.         var target = new CinemachineTargetGroup.Target {target = newTarget, radius = radius, weight = weight};
15.  
16.         if (index == -1)
17.         {
18.             Targets.Add(target);
19.             index = Targets.Count-1;
20.             TargetGroup.m_Targets = Targets.ToArray();
21.         }
22.         else
23.         {
24.             Targets[index] = target;
25.             TargetGroup.m_Targets.SetValue(target, index);
26.         }
27.  

More over, if I print log at the end:

Code (CSharp):

1. Debug.LogFormat("added new target: {0}",TargetGroup.m_Targets[index].target.name);

It will tell, that target exist, and print its name

 

Hey Gregoryl and Karlanton, is there a description of what Everything Karlantons solution means? I’m pretty new to Unity, switching from Unreal blueprints. I’m hoping to add and remove targets at runtime from a target group.

 

Good addition @Gregoryl. For sake of completness, FindMember() is also very useful to make sure the Transform you want to include isn't already there. Or check if it's there if you want to remove it.

Edit: Remember that Returns -1 if not a member, I was checking against null...

 

How do you use those methods?
I'm doing this and it doesn't add them to the target group

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2. public CinemachineTargetGroup targetbrain;
3.  
4.     void Start()
5.     {
6.         StartCoroutine("LateStart");
7.     }
8.  
9.     IEnumerator LateStart()
10.     {
11.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(11);
12.  
13.        //Find players in scene
14.         p1 = GameObject.Find("Player 1").transform;
15.         p2 = GameObject.Find("Player 2").transform;
16.  
17.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
18.         //Add members to follow group
19.    
20.         targetbrain.AddMember(p1, 1f, 0f);
21.         targetbrain.AddMember(p2, 1f, 0f);
22.  
23.     }
