EditorJsonUtility.ToJson(CinemachineVirtualCamera); Doesn't seems to work

Hello, I am saving / loading monobehaviours scripts for some editor tools.
and it works great, except for CinemachineVirtualCamera monobehaviour...

When I save with EditorJsonUtility.ToJson(CinemachineVirtualCamera), here in the editor:


and here is the json data saved :

Code (CSharp):

1. {"MonoBehaviour":{"m_Enabled":true,"m_EditorHideFlags":0,"m_Name":"","m_EditorClassIdentifier":"","m_ExcludedPropertiesInInspector":["m_Script"],"m_LockStageInInspector":[],"m_StreamingVersion":20170927,"m_Priority":11,"m_StandbyUpdate":2,"m_LookAt":{"instanceID":0},"m_Follow":{"instanceID":0},"m_Lens":{"FieldOfView":120.0,"OrthographicSize":10.0,"NearClipPlane":0.10000000149011612,"FarClipPlane":5000.0,"Dutch":0.0,"LensShift":{"x":0.0,"y":0.0}},"m_Transitions":{"m_BlendHint":0,"m_InheritPosition":false,"m_OnCameraLive":{"m_PersistentCalls":{"m_Calls":[]},"m_TypeName":"Cinemachine.CinemachineBrain+VcamActivatedEvent, Cinemachine, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"}},"m_LegacyBlendHint":0,"m_ComponentOwner":{"instanceID":0}}}

Here we can see the monobehaviour is saved, with the FOV 120 for exemple, but m_LookAt and m_Follow is set to 0, and I don't have all the other information of the tracked dolly and so on...

When I try to load it from the Json, like that:

EditorJsonUtility.FromJsonOverwrite(stringJsonVCam, cinemachineVirtualCamera);

Here is the result:


Exept the priority, and the FOV, the Follow/Lookat is gone, and no information in Body, Aim and Noise :/


Ok, so my question is: first, why ?
Secondly, how can I manage to save all data I need and get it back without EditorJsonUtility ?


Thanks you !

 

Ok, my first tought is to do a GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTrackedDolly>() for exemple, and save this component. I will try to figure out a way.

For the m_LookAt and m_Follow set to 0, it seems to be a bug, and I will save manually this data.
From the CinemachineVirtualCamera, how can i know if the CinemachineVirtualCamera have a TrackedDolly, or a Transposer or other ? How can I access the enum ?

I will work on that today and I'll keep you informed.

 

As far as I know m_LookAt and m_Follow won't serialize because you can't serialize Transforms: https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-save-a-transform.495981/#post-3223908

 

Thanks you Jakub, Now I have manage to Save the CinemachineTrackedDolly component by doing a GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTrackedDolly>() .

But now, I would like to access the enum

How can I do ? I could I gess create a special function who test every component with GetCinemachineComponent, and then determine the enum index.... But It would be great to access it directly...
