Dots camera

I am using dots physics so the collider extension doesn't do anything? Work around? Thanks

 

@Gregoryl Any updates on the Dots version Cinemachine ??

 

Hi @Gregoryl! Are there any guides/suggestions to making Cinemachine work with Unity.Physics without stuttering? My process connecting Cinemachine with DOTS is simple: create hybrid object as child of PhysicsBody. CompanionLink'ed GameObject transform updated via CopyTransformToGameObjectSystem. And I make this gameobject as Follow and LookAt targets for CinemachineVirtualCamera. No matter what I change (CinemachineBrain update method, Aim/Body types) camera not moving smooth along with body. Maybe there are some "official" methods for glueing Cinemachine and DOTS for current state of DOTS packages? Thanks in advance!

 

Hi there any solution on this problem?

I have almost the same setup as @ToniSnyder. Physics runs within DOTS and I use the CopyTransformToGameObjectSystem to sync the gameobject with the DOTS world.
The Camera follows a Virtual Camera with default settings on it (damp xyz =1)

But doesn't matter what I setup. The camera is stuttering.

I've also written a custom sync system to synchronize Gameobjects as well as update the brain.

I tried to run this in normal update, fixed update,.. no matte what I do it stutters.

Any help on this?

Code (CSharp):

1. [UpdateInGroup(typeof(FixedStepSimulationSystemGroup))]
2. [UpdateAfter(typeof(EndFramePhysicsSystem))]
3. [UpdateBefore(typeof(CopyPhysicsVelocityToSmoothing))]
4. public partial class CinemachineBrainUpdateSystem : SystemBase {
5.     CopyTransformToGameObjectSystem copyTransformToGameObjectSystem;
6.     private EntityQuery m_TransformGroup;
7.  
8.     protected override void OnCreate() {
9.         base.OnCreate();
10.         copyTransformToGameObjectSystem = World.GetOrCreateSystem<CopyTransformToGameObjectSystem>();
11.         m_TransformGroup = GetEntityQuery(ComponentType.ReadOnly(typeof(CopyTransformToGameObject)), ComponentType.ReadOnly<LocalToWorld>(), typeof(UnityEngine.Transform));
12.     }
13.  
14.     protected override void OnStartRunning() {
15.         base.OnStartRunning();
16.         copyTransformToGameObjectSystem.Enabled = false;
17.     }
18.  
19.     protected override void OnUpdate() {
20.  
21.         var transforms = m_TransformGroup.GetTransformAccessArray();
22.         var copyTransformsJob = new CopyTransforms {
23.             LocalToWorlds = m_TransformGroup.ToComponentDataArrayAsync<LocalToWorld>(Allocator.TempJob, out var dependency),
24.         };
25.  
26.         copyTransformsJob.Schedule(transforms, dependency).Complete();
27.  
28.  
29.         Entities.WithoutBurst()
30.             .ForEach((CinemachineBrain brain) => {
31.                 brain.ManualUpdate();
32.             }).Run();
33.     }
34.  
35.  
36.     [BurstCompile]
37.     struct CopyTransforms : IJobParallelForTransform {
38.         [DeallocateOnJobCompletion]
39.         [ReadOnly] public NativeArray<LocalToWorld> LocalToWorlds;
40.  
41.         public void Execute(int index, TransformAccess transform) {
42.             var value = LocalToWorlds[index];
43.             transform.position = value.Position;
44.             transform.rotation = new quaternion(value.Value);
45.         }
46.     }
47. }
