Deubt ClearShot - Virtual Cameras

Hi, I combined CineMachine ClearShot with a couple of colliders and "vcam.gameObject.SetActive (true)" to use fixed cameras with the power of CineMachine.

All virtual cameras are deactivated until the player enters his "vision zone" (OnTriggerEnter).
I did read somewhere (The documentation maybe? i dont remember) that virtual cameras are always "active" searching for the "Look at" target.
And that's where I have a doubt:
Having all virtual cameras disabled at the start, does have a negative impact on performance?
I do not know, maybe some significant delay in the damping (I haven't seen any delay or bug so far) for not being able to follow the objective

I had been thinking about using SetPriority instead of Set.Active.

But the way it works right now, i think is better, clearer and cleaner. But I have this question of whether having the cameras "disabled" has any cost in the performance of virtual cameras.

 

Yes, when the player leaves trigger zones the vcam of that area is deactivated

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnTriggerExit(Collider hit)
2.     {
3.         if (hit.tag == "Player")
4.         {
5.             vcam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
6.         }
7.     }
8.  

for some reason, if i do this without clearshot, the transitions get messy and sometimes vcams get upside down ((it has happened several times but I can not reproduce the error)
And it is also easier to keep track of the cameras. Having the Vcam as childs of the clearshot makes it clearer to me to know what is happening and how to order future cameras. I just have to press the + button to add a new vcam and since Clearshot is already in charge of "Look at", I do not need to specify to each new camera what they have to look at. In case I want a fixed camera, I just have to put that specific camera, do nothing in the aim.

Yea I tried Clearshot with Standby and Round-Robin, but sometimes cameras behaved strangely, they moved or the player was partially out of their vision zone and they did not change to another camera until the player left his vision completely, which does not help too much for what I try to do (a classic survival horror cam system), that's why I decided to use Box Colliders.

You actually answered my question, Thank you very much!.
