Creating a linear CinemachinePath?

How can I create a linear Cinemachine Path?

I thought I could remove the complexities of the path by setting the resolution to 1, which in the editor view shows that there is no curve between 2 waypoints but it's just a visual indicator: it does not impact the Path.EvaluatePositionAtUnit() function. So my path ends up being curved in playmode.

What can I do to have a straight line between each waypoint when I call the CinemachineBasePath.Path.EvaluatePositionAtUnit() ?

 

Thanks for answering!
I did this, but I realized that I have a non-constant speed along the path (I slow down near waypoints) but that's not just it: I sometimes speed up along the way in a more random fashion.

I am using the DollyCart component to follow the path, so it's not anything I built myself. And I still have non-constant speeds. Here's the path below.

 

Well this is stupid, I just realized I had a small Tangent values on some of the points, by looking again at the screenshot above. Somehow small values always find their way in the tangent Vector3!

I'm sorry for wasting your time. It works as intended. I might do a component that goes over the waypoints' roll and tangents and set them to 0 so that this doesn't happen again.

 

The problem is that the handles are overlapped very often, my waypoint handles and the tangent handles. I generally do not know which is which and I would prefer to be able to turn the tangent handles off entirely.
Another option would be to force the path to be linear.

Here's an example where I'm not trying to grab the tangent handles but I do it regardless:

This turns back on as soon as I enter playmode. I wasn't sure it was a bug though.

 

Happy bug hunting then Looks like something minor.

 

I don't seem to have a linear speed in one case here despite having no tangential values.

You can see the cylinder slows down when it arrives to each waypoint. The movement looks like a quad ease in ease out. Watch the gif posted below:

PS: I also turned of the collider of the cylinder and that's not the reason for slow down.

 

I'm not sure if this is a desired behaviour but when I create a new point for my path by clicking the + sign in the path details dropdown, the values for the tangent are generally not 0. In my case, it has small values, like -1, or other values smaller than that. Just giving you a heads up.

 

Hey Gregoryl, I just downloaded the latest Cinemachine update. Could it be you forgot about this issue? The bugs are still present for me.

 

hi, is it possible to create a mesh that follow cinemachinepath ?

thx
