    Hi,

    For an infinite runner style engine, I periodically "teleport" the whole game world back to zero so the coordinate values don't get too big.

    Can I force a cinemachine set to follow a target to jump position like this, while retaining any inertia etc? Just setting the position with another script on the virtualCamera doesn't work.

    Thanks!

    Yes, when the player teleports, call vcam.OnTargetObjectWarped() with the player's displacement. Alternatively, you can call CinemachineCore.OnTargetObjectWarped(), which will seamlessly teleport all vcams targeting the object in question.
