Resolved How to add a fading shake to my camera?

I wrote code to make my camera shake on a trigger for a certain amount of time. Over time I want the shaking of the camera to slowly fade away so its more smooth and doesnt end abruptly, thanks!

Code (CSharp):

1. public IEnumerator Shake(float duration, float magnitude)
2.     {
3.         Vector3 originalPos = transform.localPosition;
4.         float elapsed = 0.0f;
5.         while (elapsed < duration)
6.         {
7.             float x = Random.Range(-1f, 1f) * magnitude;
8.             float y = Random.Range(-1f, 1f) * magnitude;
9.  
10.             transform.localPosition = new Vector3(x, y, originalPos.z);
11.  
12.             elapsed += Time.deltaTime;
13.  
14.             yield return null;
15.         }
16.  
17.         transform.localPosition = originalPos;
18.  
19.  
20.     }

 

A very basic idea could be to just linearly interpolate the values by getting inverse percentage of time elapsed and multiplying your x and y values by that:

Code (CSharp):

1. float p = 1f - (elapsed / duration);
2. float x = Random.Range(-1f, 1f) * magnitude;
3. float y = Random.Range(-1f, 1f) * magnitude;
4.  
5. x *= p;
6. y *= p;

Or you could use animation curves. Speaking of which... I would just use the Cinemachine package. It has features such as these built in.

 

Did you try Lerping the value either side on the inside of the random range on a fade in and out timer?

 

What is Cinemachine and how do I get it?

Coulda just googled it.
