Question Dynamically changing recentering / wait time having no effect and not changing in editor

Hello,

I am trying to do a rather specific set of things with a Cinemachine camera. Basically, I want the camera to be a POV, but to slowly re-center onto a specific object, and over a period of time I want the wait time and recenter time to decrease, so that the player is more and more forced to look at an object. The code I'll post looks a little weird because I tried a lot of things (like the disable/enable game object thing was a last ditch effort, lol), but all of the debug logs give me values of exactly what I would expect / the "correct" numbers.. but when I look in editor on ToiletCamera's Aim values they are not updated. If I update them in editor, they behave as I would expect. It seems like the POV's values are appropriately changing, but the change is having no effect. The most relevant code is that in the while (timer < 30) loop, the rest is just other stuff related to the scene that is hard to explain.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private IEnumerator TransitionToToiletCam()
2.     {
3.         GameManager.instance.FadeOut();
4.         //GameManager.instance.SwitchInput(GameManager.instance.controls.None.Get());
5.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
6.         //Set camera
7.         toiletCam.Priority = 999;
8.         CinemachinePOV POV = toiletCam.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachinePOV>();
9.         Debug.Log("Values before: " + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime);
10.         POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime = 0;
11.         POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime = 0;
12.         POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime = 0;
13.         POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime = 0;
14.         Debug.Log("Values after: " + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime);
15.         toiletCam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
16.         toiletCam.gameObject.SetActive(true);
17.         yield return null;
18.         Debug.Log("Values after waiting a frame: " + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime);
19.         POV.m_HorizontalRecentering.m_enabled = false;
20.         POV.m_VerticalRecentering.m_enabled = false;
21.         POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime = 10;
22.         POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime = 3;
23.         POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime = 10;
24.         POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime = 3;
25.         toiletCam.LookAt = portrait.transform;
26.         toiletCam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
27.         toiletCam.gameObject.SetActive(true);
28.         Debug.Log("Values after set back: " + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime);
29.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
30.         GameManager.instance.FadeIn();
31.         inspectWindow.SetActive(true);
32.         while (!HasWindowBeenInspected) yield return null;
33.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
34.         POV.m_HorizontalRecentering.m_enabled = true;
35.         POV.m_VerticalRecentering.m_enabled = true;
36.         float timer = 0;
37.         while (timer < 30)
38.         {
39.             POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime = Mathf.Lerp(startRecenter, finishRecenter, timer / 30);
40.             POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime = Mathf.Lerp(startRecenter, finishRecenter, timer / 30);
41.             POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime = Mathf.Lerp(startWait, finishWait, timer / 30);
42.             POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime = Mathf.Lerp(startWait, finishWait, timer / 30);
43.             timer += Time.deltaTime;
44.             Debug.Log("Values each loop: " + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + POV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime);
45.             CinemachinePOV tempPOV = toiletCam.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachinePOV>();
46.             Debug.Log("Values each loop TEMP: " + tempPOV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + tempPOV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime + "\n" + tempPOV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime + "\n" + tempPOV.m_VerticalAxis.m_Recentering.m_WaitTime);
47.             toiletCam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
48.             toiletCam.gameObject.SetActive(true);
49.             yield return null;
50.         }
51.     }

And here is the camera set up:


Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for taking a look.

 

It isn't that the recentering is being cancelled--it is recentering, it just is not changing the recentering time/wait time values. In other words, it doesn't "speed up". It is especially strange because:

Code (CSharp):

1. POV.m_HorizontalRecentering.m_enabled = false;
2.         POV.m_VerticalRecentering.m_enabled = false;

the lines modifying the recentering enabled values DO work, and they also change the toggle in editor, whereas the recenteringTime and waitTime values in editor do not change, but if I print out POV.m_HorizontalAxis.m_Recentering.m_RecenteringTime (etc.) then it is the correct values... meaning that it is being changed but it just isn't taking effect for some reason.

 

That did it! Thanks!!
