    Hi,

    How can i set camera to follow the player (purple box) like img?




    The situation is a 2.5 scene, the camera follow right the player in horizontal direction. If the player turn 90 degree, the camera follow the player from behind. I would the the camera rotate 90 degree to follow the player always side.

    Thanks in advance

    Can you show the inspector for your virtual camera?
    Also, does the box rotate when it turns around the corner?

    ok, I understand. You have to arrange to set the Y rotation on the vcam to reflect the viewpoint you want (try adjusting in in the inspector when playing). You can do this with a custom script that considers your set and the direction of motion of the player. There is no way for CM to do this automatically, as the correct viewing angle cannot be deduced. From the left side, or from the right side? Depends on the surroundings and on the game.

    Maybe there's another way (I don't know, it depends on your game. I don't have enough info).

    Maybe you could set up 4 vcams with framing transposers, one pointing in each direction N, E, S, W. Put trigger colliders on the track sections, and add the CinemachineTriggerAction script to activate the appropriate vcam when the character goes onto that section of track. Let CM brain blend between the vcams.
