Question Cinemachine Target Group not showing one of the characters that it is following.

Hi ! I am experiencing this issue with the target group: I have a terrain 370 by 370 wide ( rather small )
and 2 characters that the camera must always show. Everything is fine until the two character are almost on the opposite corners of the terrain's diagonal. At that point only one of them is shown. Moreover ( seldom but it happens ) sometimes the camera has odd movements such as showing neither of the 2 characters or even going underground for few seconds. Can an expert help me pls ? Thanx

 

Hi ! Thanks for the help. Much appreciated !
Sorry for the delay in my answer but I spent that time trying to better understand the situation.
The 2 characters are added to the target group at runtime and this part looks to be without problems.The target group has its default settings.
I also checked the box you both write about and it is always existent.
When Unity is running the problem is that at least one character goes out of view if it travels far enough, even bringing the FOV to 200 in the Aim section. I attach the requested screenshots. It is a project that I am doing to learn something more and probably I did something outside my ability.
Below you can find 3 screenshot. The 3rd one should be at the place of the 2nd and vice-versa

 

Hello gaborkb,
I brough both the maximum FOV and the Vertical FOV to 179 ( the maximum allowed by Unity ). When Cinemachine 'loses' one of the 2 players the real FOV ( the FOV shown in the normal Main Camera inspector ) is at about 70-80. For some time it also reached about 100.
At first I also tried with the Cinemachine Collider on and then disabled it to avoid any possible negative influence. Either way the situation remains the same: one of the 2 characters gets lost by the camera.
I also made few tests with reduced terrains: if they are not larger than 200 x 200, the target group works well.

 

Hi !
Here is a sample project that I have put together to show you the problem without having other things interfere. This is the best I have been able to put together with Cinemachine's target group.
The blue sphere is the player. The red one is the other character that must be seen from the camera.
You can move the blue sphere with WASD ( S & D are to rotate it ). If you send it to the far right or very far forward, you will see that Cinemachine loses the red sphere. How would you set this ?
Some other questions: I am also unable to raise the camera, how can I do this ? The Body Offset y does not move anything ( in this case ).
The camera also remains at the same place forever: how can I make it stay, for example, near the middle of the terrain ?

 

Hi,
I agree that a target group cinemachine is not the best set up for a large terrain but in reality my aim in doing all of this
was to learn more about Cinemachine ( this is a test scene, I do not have time to make a game ).

After the explanation, the good news: after reading your last reply now everything works ! ( THANK YOU !! )
Last, last 2 question2: in this scene I can not implement a Cinemachine Collider with a Target Group. I send you a revised tiny project.

Now the Target Group works but often the view is occluded by the walls. And now the question is this: is it possible to have a Virtual Camera intelligent enough to change the side of the square where it is now in order to get a better view of the 2 players ?
And, anyway, how would you solve this problem ?

 

Great ! Thanks a lot ! Much appreciated !
